The most accurate answer to how the average rainfall in the African savanna affects the people who live there is:

C. Population changes dramatically over the course of the year, rising in the wet season and declining in the dry season.

In many regions of the savanna, the availability of water and resources can greatly fluctuate between the wet and dry seasons, affecting population dynamics and settlement patterns.
