Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A. The mountains trap the weather coming form the sea

Answer 2

I think it would be B. The mountains attract humidity.

Step-by-step explanation:

When air reaches the mountains, it is forced to rise over this barrier. As the air moves up the windward side of a mountain, it cools, and the volume decreases. As a result, humidity increases and orographic clouds and precipitation can develop. When the air descends the leeward side, it warms and is drier because the moisture in the air was wrung out during the ascent. This area with a lack of moisture is known as a rain shadow.
