CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. The rainfall falls only after August: August to September, 400−260=140400 - 260 = 140 mm.

  2. September to October: 260−90=170260 - 90 = 170 mm, the larger drop.

Worth noting

August to September looks steep, but the drop there is 140 mm, less than the 170 mm from September to October. July to August is a rise, not a drop.
