In which condition can orographic rainfall remain limited even if the mountain is high?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Air is dry and lacks vapour for condensation

Answer: B. Orographic rainfall occurs when moist air is forced to rise over a mountain. Rising air expands and cools; if enough water vapour is present, it reaches saturation, condensation forms clouds, and precipitation may develop. A high mountain supplies uplift, but uplift alone cannot create unlimited rain. If the incoming air is dry and contains little water vapour, cooling may produce little condensation, so cloud and rainfall development remain limited. A is wrong because moist, unstable air strongly supports cloud growth and rainfall. C is wrong because moisture on the windward slope supports, rather than limits, orographic rainfall. D is wrong because continuing maritime air usually supplies moisture, although other atmospheric conditions still matter. Memory cue: orographic rainfall needs both a lifting mountain and moisture; height is only one part of the process.
