Solution

The correct option is B Low temperature, low precipitation, scanty or no vegetation
Polar and high altitude climates are cold, windy and dry. Because of the lack of precipitation and low temperatures the arctic and antarctic are considered the world's largest deserts or polar deserts. Much of the radiation from the sun that is received is reflected off the snow making the polar and high altitude regions cold. As the sunlight reaching is also very low, hence, there is little or no vegetation.
