Correct Answer: A low-pressure zone located at the equator.


Solution : The correct option is A low-pressure zone located at the equator.

Encircling the Earth close to the equator is a belt of low pressure known as the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). The trade winds from the northern and southern hemispheres converge in this area. This location experiences regular cloud cover and heavy rains as the warm, humid air rises, cools, and condenses.
