Explanation:

1. Mediterranean climate is a fairly dry climate. Almost no rain falls during the summer, so most of the rain falls during the cooler winter. The summer experiences cold ocean currents that bring dry air and no precipitation. During the winter the currents shift and warmer, moist air brings rain to these areas.

In monsoon climate, most of the rain is received in summer season only through South-west monsoon winds.

2. Annual temperature ranges in mediterranean climate is smaller than those found in monsoon climates. Hence second statement is incorrect.

3. Third statement is correct.
