A Correct answer
Explanation

Mountains influence rainfall through orographic effect - when moist air is forced to rise up mountain slopes, it cools and condenses, causing precipitation. Soil type affects water retention but not rainfall formation. Population density and sunrise/sunset times are unrelated to atmospheric processes that create rain.
