If a place has a warmest month above 10°C and a very cold coldest month, why may it be placed in D rather than E?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because D can have at least one warm month above 10°C
The key distinction between D and E climates is the temperature of the warmest month. In E, the warmest month remains below 10°C, so even the short summer is too cool for a D classification. D climates can have severe winters but must have at least one month with a mean temperature above 10°C, allowing a brief growing season. Therefore, option A is correct.
