Answer 1

The correct response is:

The cold surface water results in moist air and more rainfall.

Upwelling brings cold, nutrient-rich water to the surface, which can lead to increased biological productivity and can also influence local atmospheric conditions, contributing to higher moisture levels and potentially more rainfall in coastal regions.
