Correct Option: C

Precipitation patterns across Australia are seasonal in nature. In northern Australia, most of the year’s rain falls in the summer months, while the winter months are dry. In the southern part of Australia, rain tends to fall more in the winter than in the summer. Precipitation gradually decreases from north to south and becomes more seasonal due to the reduced influence of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and greater exposure to monsoon rainfall variability.
