Answer: D. All of these

The correct answer is D) All of these. Droughts occur when there is a prolonged shortage of water, primarily caused by less rainfall. High temperatures worsen the situation by speeding up the evaporation of water from the soil and lakes. Dry winds further strip moisture from plants and the ground, like a giant sponge. Together, these factors lead to the severe drying out of an entire region.
