Solution

The correct option is C Climate

The climate is the average weather condition in a location for a long span of 25 years, and so on. While the weather can change in a few hours, it takes hundreds, thousands, even millions of years for the climate to change. It determines the general weather phenomena of an area that occur over the course of several years. The climate of a region, as well as nearby water bodies and their currents, is influenced by its latitude, terrain, and altitude. It is possible to classify climates according to the average and normal ranges of various variables, most often temperature and precipitation.

The correct answer is C .
