Desert climate associated with a rain-shadow is found

a. on the windward side of mountain ranges

b. on the leeward side of mountain ranges

c. in the middle of flat plains

d. along continental coastlines

B. On the leeward (inward) side of coastal mountain ranges

Explanation:

In contrast to the windward side of a mountain which is moist, the leeward side typically has a dry, warm climate. This is because by the time air rises up the windward side and reaches the summit, it has already stripped of the majority of its moisture.

The answer is b): on the leeward side of mountain ranges.

Explanation:

Desert climate associated with a rain-shadow is found on the leeward side of mountain ranges. A rain shadow usually forms as a dry area of land on the side of a mountain that is protected from prevailing windflow, and associated with certain types of weather systems. The side of a mountain that is protected from prevailing windflow is known as the down-wind side or the leeward side.
