Answer:

The answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

El-Nino Southern Oscillation is an atmospheric movement around the ecuador and subtropic regions of the world which results in always results in an increase in the sea surface temperature, el-nina being the opposite causes the sea surface temperatures to drop. This warm weather change in the atmosphere therefore creates an environment that is suited for a low rainfall.

I hope this answer helps.
