Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The Köppen climate classification system uses letter codes to categorize global climates. Tropical wet (Tropical Rainforest) is represented by 'Af', where 'A' denotes tropical and 'f' indicates no dry season [2]. Mid-latitude desert (Cold Desert) is coded as 'BWk', where 'BW' signifies arid desert and 'k' (kalt) denotes cold mid-latitude temperatures [3]. Mediterranean climate is designated as 'Cs', characterized by warm temperate conditions ('C') and dry summers ('s') [4]. Humid continental climate falls under the 'D' group (Cold Snow-Forest) and is represented by 'Df', indicating a moist continental climate with no dry season [5]. Matching these pairs (A-1, B-4, C-2, D-3) leads to the code 1-4-2-3, which corresponds to the first option.
