Explanation:
The reason why answer choice "C). dry climate with little rainfall" would be the correct answer is because of air masses. The air masses pretty much goes to the western side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The slopes on the western side of the mountain is receiving rainfall, and a lot of it. This means that all of the rain can't pass over to the other side of the mountain due to the fact that there is a lot of rainfall that the clouds have, in which it would be difficult to bring it over to the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The eastern side would receive dry air due to the fact that the dry air is being released to the eastern side from the western side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. This would make the eastern side look different from the western side, and would make the eastern side more dryer, while getting little bits of rainfall.

The Asteroid Belt is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter: so it can only be one of the two planets that is the closest to it.
Mars is located approx 250 million km from the Sun and Jupiter - 750 million km from the Sun.
Mars is closer: so the correct answer is: Mars is the planet closest to the Asteroid belt.
I'm going to assume you meant poles for this. The lines that meet at the North and South Poles are called Longitude. How I like to remember that is Lat is relaxing and Long is tall. :)
