The correct answers are A, B, and C.
The low-pressure system over Namibia did, in fact, bring more rainfall over the region, leading to the flooding of the Vaal Dam. Soil moisture levels in the region were very high because of the persistent rainfall throughout January. The persistent rain and possibility of more rain from the tropical low mean create a situation that must be monitored very closely.
