Options:
A .  Dar-es-Salaam
B .  Kampala
C .  Nairobi
D .  Lusaka
Answer: Option A
Answer: (a)
Dar es Salaam, formerly Mzizima, is the largest city in Tanzania. It is also the country’s richest city and a regionally important economic centre.
Though Dar es Salaam lost its official status as the capital city to Dodoma in 1974 (a move which was not complete until 1996), it remains the centre of the permanent central government bureaucracy and continues to serve as the capital for the surrounding Dar es Salaam Region.
Being situated so close to the equator and the warm Indian Ocean, the city experiences generally tropical climatic conditions, typified by hot and humid weather throughout much of the year. Dar es Salaam features a tropical wet and dry climate, with two different rainy seasons.
