Most deserts occur around 30ºN and 30ºS primarily due to weather patterns and atmospheric circulation. These latitudes are characterized by the descending air of the Hadley cells, which leads to high-pressure systems. As the air descends, it warms and dries out, inhibiting cloud formation and precipitation. This results in arid conditions, making these regions some of the driest on the planet.

So, the most accurate answer from your options is:
