The sand will be cooler than the seawater.

B.
Both will be the same temperature but cooler than before.

C.
Both will be the same temperature but warmer than before.

D.
The sand will be warmer than the seawater.

The given question is incomplete as the options are missing. The options are as follows-

(A) The average global level of precipitation increases

(B) The average global level of precipitation decreases

(C) The pattern of global precipitation is altered.

(D) The pattern of global precipitation remains unchanged.

Option (C)

Explanation:

The tropical rainforest plays an important role in the controlling global climate. This tropical rainforest is responsible for the production of a significant amount of oxygen into the atmosphere by absorbing a large amount of CO₂.

These trees are helpful in releasing the excess water from their body by the process of evapotranspiration and this water is released and mixed with the prevailing air in the atmosphere, and as this region receives a large amount of sunlight, the area remains hot, and the warm wind rises up forming low-pressure zone. This results in the formation of clouds and precipitation occurs eventually.

The absence of these trees in the tropical region would lead to an alteration in the global precipitation pattern. The atmosphere will be warm and there will be lesser production of oxygen. There will be changes in the wind pattern, atmospheric pressure, and temperature, as a result of which the global precipitation will be largely affected.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
