D Correct answer
Explanation

Option 3 and 4 is correct because equatorial climates are characterized by consistent high temperatures (no cold winters or hot summers) and afternoon convectional showers. They have very small diurnal (daily) temperature ranges due to high cloud cover and humidity. Statements 1 and 2 are incorrect - equatorial regions don't experience seasonal temperature extremes.
