Answer

It means there is rainfall elsewhere.
B
It can increase snowfall.
C
It can cause water shortages.
D
It affects only the Blue Ridge region.

Explanation

The Blue Ridge Mountains are an important source of water for rivers and communities in Georgia. If little rain falls there for several years, less water flows into streams and reservoirs, which can contribute to shortages across the state. So the best answer is C, it can cause water shortages.
