Answer 2

Answer:

Option (4)

Explanation:

El Nino can be simply defined as the large-scale climatic interaction between the oceans and the atmosphere, that results in the episodic warming of the sea surface and increasing temperature across the region of Central Equatorial Pacific ocean and also along its East-Central region.

The above given condition, where there occurs constant rainfall everyday for two weeks in the small village in coastal Equador is most likely due to the effect of El Nino.

Thus, the correct answer is option (4).
