Lack of rain could cause draught. (possibility/condition)

उत्तर
possibility
Explanation:
In this context, “could” expresses the likelihood or chance of an event occurring, suggesting that a lack of water is a realistic, potential result of insufficient rain rather than an absolute certainty. It is not acting as a “condition” here because conditions typically rely on an “if” clause (e.g., if it doesn’t rain, there will be a drought) to show that one specific action depends entirely on another.
