The correct answer is Mediterranean region.

The Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters, is ideal for the cultivation of citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, grapefruit, and tangerines. This climate supports crops that can withstand drought in summer and benefit from winter rainfall.

Other characteristic crops of the Mediterranean region include olives, grapes, figs, and cork. The equatorial region is too hot and wet, the desert region is too dry, and while some sub-humid regions might support citrus, the Mediterranean climate is the most important and well-known supplier globally.
