Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• Option 1: Brazil has white areas (25 cm or less) but also blue areas, so saying it's experiencing a drought overall is inaccurate.
• Option 2: The map doesn't show altitude, so we can't conclude about rain and altitude.
• Option 3: Peru has dark colors (high precipitation levels), suggesting it received high rain.
• Option 4: Venezuela is in light blue (75 or 100 cm), not less than 25 cm.

Answer:

C. Peru received the highest level of rain.
