If frost repeatedly appears in the same lower parts of a hill valley what is the most appropriate topographic reason?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Cold dense air collects in lower parts and cools the surface more

Correct answer: C. After the ground loses heat, the air touching it becomes colder and denser. Under calm conditions, this dense cold air flows downhill and settles in hollows or the lowest parts of a valley. The pooled air can cool the ground and nearby vegetation below the freezing point, allowing water vapour to deposit as frost. This creates a local frost hollow or cold-air basin, so frost may recur in the same places even when nearby slopes are slightly warmer. A is wrong because higher land does not always have more moisture, and moisture alone does not explain the repeated low-level pattern. B is wrong because sunlight does reach valleys, although the timing and duration of heating may differ. D is wrong because water vapour can enter and remain in low areas. Memory cue: cold air behaves like a heavy fluid and settles in hollows.
