Answer:

Well-defined winter dry season and savanna with drought-tolerant trees

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Köppen classification, Aw climate refers to Tropical savanna climate with dry-winter characteristics. In this climate, there is low rainfall in winter which make it very dry while on the other hand, more rainfall occurs in the summer season. The vegetation of such type of climate is drought resistance because there is less amount of water is received by the area in this type of climate so that's why we can say that Aw climate is Tropical savanna climate.
