Answer: (A)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Understand that the probability given, 0.25, represents the likelihood that Mountain View gets at least 4 inches of rain in a month.
2. Recall that probability values range from 0 to 1, where 1 means 100% certainty and 0 means 0% chance.
3. To convert a probability to a percentage, multiply the probability by 100.
4. Set up the conversion: Percentage = Probability \times 100, so here it is 0.25 \times 100.
5. Calculate the result to find the percentage of months Mountain View gets at least 4 inches of rain.
