Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The Mediterranean climate (A) is characterized by warm to hot summers and mild winters with a moderate temperature range [4]. The Marine West Coast climate (B) features a temperature cycle heavily moderated by marine influence, resulting in cool summers and mild winters [2]. The Dry Midlatitude climate (C), often associated with interior steppe or desert regions, exhibits a strong temperature cycle with a large annual range, featuring warm to hot summers and cold to very cold winters [2]. The Moist Continental climate (D), specifically the Dfb/Dfa types, experiences warm summers and severe cold winters where temperatures can remain below freezing for several months, leading to a very large annual temperature range [2]. Matching these characteristics leads to the sequence A-4, B-1, C-3, and D-2.
