Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) An extremely short dry season
The tropical savanna (Aw) or wet-dry climate is defined by a clear alternation of a rainy summer and a pronounced dry winter; hence it has a definite wet and dry season. Rainfall is therefore not year-round or confined to winter, nor is the dry spell extremely short. ([britannica.com](https://www.britannica.com/science/tropical-wet-dry-climate?utm_source=openai))
