A low pressure system with inward, counterclockwise flow (option C) would promote wetter conditions by drawing in moist air from the surrounding areas and causing it to rise and cool, leading to condensation and precipitation. High pressure systems with outward, clockwise flow (options A and D) promote drier conditions as they push air downward and inhibit the formation of clouds and precipitation. Option B, a low pressure system with outward, clockwise flow, could potentially bring in moisture, but the clockwise flow would suppress any potential rainfall.
