Answer:

B . Areas near the equator get more direct sunlight so the temperatures are higher.

Explanation:

At equator, the sun is always over head and hits the surface directly. The surface is no at an angle to the sun.

The insolation here is very great and they received more direct sunlight.

  • Due to the high insolation, the temperature is higher than most part of the earth.
  • Rainfall levels are also high as rain cloud easily forms here.
  • In most equatorial region, both temperature and rainfall is high all year round.
