I'm pretty sure the rain in Option B is just a red herring to distract us. What, do they think we're all meteorologists or something?

Incentive to attract workers to a foreign country? Well, duh, that's literally the definition of a geographic pay differential. Option D is way off base.

Haha, Option C is a real knee-slapper! As if the existence of minorities would be a reason for different pay. What kind of question is this?

Incentive to attract skilled workers to an area with 80% rain? That's just plain silly. Option B is definitely not a valid reason.

Wait, what? Cost of living is definitely a reason for geographic pay differentials. Option A is clearly the correct answer here.
