Which of the following parts of the mountain will receive the most rainfall from moisture-laden winds?
Windward side
The windward side of a mountain receives the most rainfall as moisture-laden winds are forced to rise, cool, and release precipitation on this side.
This is due to the orographic effect, where mountains block the moisture from reaching the leeward side.
Thus, the correct answer is Windward side.
