A vegetation map of a tropical region divides the area into three zones: Zone A (elevation 0-200 m, annual rainfall 1500 mm), Zone B (elevation 200-800 m, rainfall 1200 mm), and Zone C (elevation >800 m, rainfall 800 mm). Cocoa cultivation requires an annual rainfall between 1000 mm and 2000 mm and an average temperature between 21 °C and 27 °C. Assuming temperature decreases by 0.6 °C for every 100 m increase in elevation, which zone is most suitable for cocoa farming? Justify your choice.
