    C)  Pressure decreased\[\to \]air compressed\[\to \]heavy downpour

    D)  Descent of air\[\to \,\,\text{air}\]warmed\[\to \]heavy downpour

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     There is negative relationship between rainfall and pressure. When the air pressure is lower, more rainfall occurs. When there is low pressure in the atmosphere, the air bubbles that is rising, are always hotter than the air around. If the ground is heated then air will rise. The cool air will produce condensation that will ultimately lead to rainfall.
