D
Correct answer
Explanation
Northern Australia receives rainfall throughout the year due to its tropical climate position near the equator. This region experiences consistent rainfall patterns from the monsoon winds and tropical weather systems, unlike the southern and western regions which have Mediterranean and desert climates respectively with pronounced wet and dry seasons. The eastern coastal areas also receive consistent rainfall but are more seasonal compared to the year-round tropical precipitation in the north.
