Concept:A hot desert climate has very high day temperatures and very low rainfall (usually less than 250 mm a year).
Explanation:The climate described is very hot and very dry, which matches a desert climate.
Hot deserts such as the Sahara and the Kalahari lie in the tropics, roughly
15∘ to
30∘ north and south of the equator, where dry sinking air gives little rain.
Polar and temperate climates are cold or mild, not very hot.
The tropical (equatorial) climate right at the equator is hot but has heavy rainfall, not very low rainfall.
Key point: The heat points to the tropics, but the very low rainfall rules out the wet tropical climate, so the answer is the desert climate.
Answer:Option C (Desert climate)
