If an area has very low rainfall and high temperature, what condition may develop?

Correct answer: Dry and desert-like condition

Direct answer: Option A is correct. A region becomes dry when water input is very small and heat increases the loss of water through evaporation. Very low rainfall cannot adequately supply soil, plants or rivers, while high temperature can remove moisture quickly. Over time this may produce sparse vegetation, dry soil and desert-like conditions. Option A is therefore the logical result. Option B is wrong because dense evergreen forests need abundant and fairly regular moisture, not very low rainfall. Option C is wrong because flooding requires excess water, whereas the question gives little rainfall. Option D is wrong because permanent glaciers require long-lasting freezing conditions and snow accumulation, not high temperature. Option A does not claim that every hot, dry region is a true desert immediately; it says a dry, desert-like condition may develop, which is appropriately cautious. Memory cue: low rain plus high heat means water deficit. Thar is a familiar Indian example, though desert conditions also depend on other factors.
