Question

Select the correct option:

Rare though the phenomenon is, it can occur prolonged drought conditions.

1. A. towards
2. B. amid
3. C. among
4. D. under (Correct answer)

Correct Answer

Option D — under

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is under.

Key Points

• The idiomatic preposition is 'under … conditions' — as in 'under drought conditions', 'under pressure', 'under certain circumstances'.
• So the phenomenon can occur under prolonged drought conditions.
• 'Towards', 'amid' and 'among' do not collocate with 'conditions' in this causal sense; learn the fixed pairing 'under conditions'.
