Answer:

C. It has frequent dust storms in the spring.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The Taklamakan is a desert of the southwestern region of the Xinjiang in northwestern China and the name signifies an empty or barren place or the place of no return. This desert covers an area of 337,000 km square.
  • It has frequent dust storms and is made of shifting sands. It's separate and independent from the gobi desert. In summer the frequency of the sandstorm decreases and in the spring the storms have higher activity. Thus by autumn and winter months, this decreases.
