Answer:
<em>likely to decrease downstream in arid regions and increase downstream in temperate regions</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
Arid regions are is a region with a severe lack of water, usually to the extent that affect the organisms living in the region. Arid regions are characterized by a very low depth of rainfall per year. Temperate region on the other hand experience more distinct seasonal change and wider temperature change. Temperate regions get a fairly large amount of rainfall per year.
In arid regions, the soil is very dry, and the rate of infiltration and percolation is high relative to the amount of rainfall available. The effect is that more water is infiltrated into the soil as you move downstream, leading to a decrease in the discharge of a stream as you move downstream. Most temperate region have soils that are usually saturated in the peak of the rainfall season, leading to a greater stream discharge as you move downstream.
To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the Malus Law. Malus's law indicates that the intensity of a linearly polarized beam of light, which passes through a perfect analyzer with a vertical optical axis is equivalent to:
Where,
indicates the intensity of the light before passing through the polarizer,
I is the resulting intensity, and
indicates the angle between the axis of the analyzer and the polarization axis of the incident light.
Since we have two objects the law would be,
Replacing the values,
Therefore the intesity of the light after it has passes through both polarizers is 
As we sit in a chair, Action force will be only in one direction and that direction would be downward only.
In short, Your Answer would be Option A
Hope this helps!
A) halogens.
bromine, chlorine and fluorine are found in group 7 of the periodic table. thus they are halogens
