Answer

Brief Explanations:

To solve this, we recall La Niña's characteristics: it involves stronger trade winds (prevailing winds) and increased hurricane activity in the Atlantic. Warmer Pacific waters and warmer winters are associated with El Niño, not La Niña. So we analyze each option:

  • Option 1: "stronger prevailing winds and more hurricane activity" matches La Niña's effects.
  • Option 2: Warmer Pacific waters and winters are El Niño - eliminate.
  • Option 3: Warmer Pacific waters are El Niño - eliminate.
  • Option 4: Warmer winters are El Niño - eliminate.

Answer:

A. stronger prevailing winds and more hurricane activity
