Explanation:

Flash flooding is characterized by heavy rainfall in a short - time period. Desert areas are prone to flash floods when heavy rain occurs due to poor drainage and dry soil that doesn't absorb water quickly. Less rain in a short time does not cause flash flooding.

Answer:

I. Flash flooding occurs when there is heavy rain in a short amount of time. - True
II. Flash flooding occurs when there is less rain in a short amount of time. - False
III. Flash flooding occurs when there is heavy rain in a desert area. - True
So the answer is I and III are true, but since it's not an option in the multiple - choice, if we consider the closest correct option based on the main definition of flash flooding being heavy rain in a short time, the best answer is Only I. So the final answer is Only I.
