Explanation⬇️
The correct answer is (b).

Confined entirely to the Western portion of continental masses, the Mediterranean climate lies between 30° and 45° north and south of the equator.
In summer, when the Sun is overhead at the Tropic of Cancer, the belt of influence of the Westerlies is shifted a little towards the pole. The rain-bearing winds are therefore not likely to reach the Mediterranean lands. The prevailing Trade Winds (tropical easterlies) are offshore, and there is practically no rain.
The Mediterranean lands receive most of their precipitation in winter when the Westerlies shift towards the equator. Due to this, the Mediterranean climate is characterized by hot, dry summer and mild, rainy winter. The shift in wind belts is strikingly the causation factor of this climate.
The monthly average temperature ranges around 25° C in summer and below 10°C in the winters, and the annual precipitation in the Mediterranean climate areas ranges between 35–90 cm.
Therefore, option (b) is the correct answer
As we celebrated our 74th Republic Day, we stood proud with our Egyptian leader, raised awareness against addiction with Tableau, honored by the presence of Agniveers, showcased our Made in India weapon systems and celebrated the strength of our all-women contingent from CRPF. Together, we united in solidarity and progress.
