The given climatic characteristics include uniform temperature throughout the year, rainfall throughout the year with two periods of maximum occurrence, and least rainfall at June and December solstices.

Option 1: Equatorial climate corresponds to the given characteristics. In equatorial regions, the temperature remains relatively constant throughout the year due to the proximity to the equator. The rainfall is also distributed throughout the year with no distinct dry season. This climate has high rainfall and does not show a significant decrease in rainfall during the solstices. Therefore, it aligns with all the given characteristics.

Option 2: Mediterranean climate is characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. It does not have uniform temperature throughout the year, as it experiences distinct seasons. It also does not have rainfall throughout the year, but rather a wet and dry season. Therefore, it does not match the given characteristics.

Option 3: China type climate includes cold, dry winters and hot, wet summers. It does not have uniform temperature throughout the year and also does not have rainfall throughout the year. Therefore, it does not match the given characteristics.

Option 4: Tropical monsoon climate has distinct wet and dry seasons with heavy rainfall during the monsoon season. It does not have uniform temperature throughout the
