C. The Blue Ridge region has the highest elevation
The correct answers are A. The Blue Ridge region receives the most rainfall and C. The Blue Ridge region has the highest elevation.
The high elevation in the Blue Ridge region allows for the formation of numerous rivers. As air is lifted over the mountainous terrain, it cools and condenses, leading to increased precipitation. The rainfall in this region contributes to the formation of many rivers that originate in the Blue Ridge region and flow down into the lower-lying areas.
