A. Reduced precipitation is the cause of drought.

Step-by-step explanation:

Reduced precipitation begins to insufficient water availability because water catch basins or tanks tend to dry out. When it drains out, people tend to start working and drying out the backup water sources and stored ones. Until such time, that the reservoirs of water will completely be dried out. And there will be no more water for them to use and there will be a drought.
