Based on these geographic factors, which statement correctly contrasts the climates of the two places?

The Mekong River Delta is low-lying and in tropical Southeast Asia, so it stays warm throughout the year. The Tibetan Plateau is at a very high elevation, where temperatures are much cooler. The delta also receives abundant seasonal rainfall, so the claim that the plateau is hotter and drier is not a better contrast.
