Correct Answer: rains a lot in
Solution : The third option is the correct choice.
The phrase "raining a lot" should be replaced with "rains a lot" to maintain the tense consistency, as the sentence is in the simple present tense and "raining" is in the present continuous tense. "Rains" helps us describe the habitual or general occurrence of the rain, which is the intended meaning of the sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: It rains a lot in April and May, but the summer is very dry.
