Solution

The correct option is A Difference in the maximum and minimum temperature of a day
The temperature recorded throughout the 24-hour period shows that there is a rhythmic rise and fall of temperature during a day. This phenomenon is called the daily cycle of temperature. The difference between the highest and lowest values of temperature recorded at a locality is referred to as the diurnal range or daily range of temperature.
