The correct answer is - C. the humidity of rainforests can produce local and regional precipitation.

The evapotranspiration represents a process in which big amounts of water vapor is released by the plants and that water vapor goes up into the atmosphere and contributes to creating warm wet clouds that will produce rain. The amount of water vapor released from the plants in the rainforests is much bigger than at any other place in the world, and this is due to the constant heat throughout the year as well as the rains that appear almost every day and oversaturate the plants with water so they have to release part of it. This contributes significantly to the formation of clouds and how big and wet they will be, and thus how much rain they will produce.
