Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
The mean annual temperature depends on the amount of solar radiation received, which is highest near the equator due to direct sunlight throughout the year.
Tropical regions, located near the equator, receive consistent and intense solar radiation, leading to high average annual temperatures.
As distance from the equator increases, solar radiation becomes less direct and more spread out, resulting in lower average temperatures in other zones.

भूमध्य रेखा के निकट स्थित उष्णकटिबंधीय क्षेत्रों में वर्षभर सीधी सौर ऊर्जा प्राप्त होती है, जिससे औसत वार्षिक तापमान अधिक होता है।
भूमध्य रेखा से दूर जाने पर सौर विकिरण कम सीधा और फैला हुआ होता है, जिससे अन्य क्षेत्रों में औसत तापमान कम होता है।
