The development of urbanized areas in the region was influenced by the ability to easily transport goods between coastal areas and the interior of the country. C.

c. The inter-tropical convergence zone is associated with a migratory band of high pressure cells, bringing moderate precipitation to low-latitude areas.
Explanation:
The relationships with the high and low-pressure areas and the average annual rainfall are associated with the divergence and the convergence of the air along the ITCZ zone and are formed by the migration of the pressure cells that bring moderate to heavy rainfall in lower latitudes.
