Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The wet season in SE Asia occurs during high Sun season because of the presence of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) over the continent. The ITCZ shifts towards the region during high Sun season, causing significant amounts of rainfall. Therefore, option D is the correct choice. Option A is incorrect because the subtropical high is associated with dry and clear weather, and it does not cause rainfall. Option B is incorrect because the low Sun season has no link with the ITCZ. Option C is also incorrect because the subtropical high does not cause rainfall during the high Sun season.
