Answer is B.

Basins of interior drainage refer to regions where water does not flow into the ocean or any other external body of water but rather collects in closed basins or evaporates. This phenomenon occurs when rivers and streams within a particular region do not have an outlet to the sea. The western United States is particularly known for its abundance of interior drainage basins, making it a distinct characteristic of this region's hydrological system.
