C Correct answer
Explanation

An isohyet is a line on a map connecting points that receive equal amounts of rainfall or precipitation. Isobars connect points of equal atmospheric pressure, while isometric relates to equal dimensions. The prefix 'iso-' means equal, and 'hyet' comes from Greek for rain - making isohyet the correct term for rainfall contours.
