Detailed Solution

Rain shadow area is associated with Orographic rainfall.
The leeward side of a mountain is another name for the rain shadow region. In mountainous places, this type of rainfall is most typical. It is brought on by the region's physical makeup. When air containing moisture passes over a mountain, it is pulled upward and causes orographic rainfall. When air rises and cools, condensation begins, which leads to precipitation. On the leeward side, there is substantially less rain than on the windward side (rain shadow area). .
2 is therefore the best choice.
