    The correct answer is C. Much of the region is covered by desert and lacks fresh water.

    Southwest Asia face great difficult in farming mostly because of climate and soil conditions.

    The Southwest Asia is extremely arid and will receive less than 18 inches of precipitation a year, while countries as Brazil in the region of Amazon rainforest will receive 80 to 120 inches of annual precipitation.
