D Correct answer
Explanation

Mawsynram in Meghalaya, India receives the highest average annual rainfall in the world (approximately 11,872 mm). Cherrapunji (also in Meghalaya) held the record historically but is now second. Durban and Sirpur are not among the wettest places. Mawsynram's proximity to the Bay of Bengal causes extreme monsoon rainfall.
