Q. Consider the following description:
1. Annual and daily range of temperatures is low.
2. Precipitation occurs throughout the year.
3. Precipitation varies between 50 cm-250 cm.

Explanation : 

1. Low annual and daily temperature range

– This suggests a moderating influence, typically from a large water body
– Eliminates continental climates which have high temperature ranges

2. Precipitation throughout the year

– No dry season
– Consistent rainfall pattern
– Rules out climates with distinct wet and dry seasons

3. Precipitation between 50-250 cm

– Moderate to high rainfall
– Broader range typical of mid-latitude climates

Looking at the options:

– Equatorial climate: Has year-round rainfall but typically higher precipitation
– China type climate: Has distinct seasonal variations
– Humid subtropical climate: Has more seasonal variation
– Marine West coast climate: ✓
– Moderated by oceans (low temperature range)
– Year-round precipitation
– Precipitation range matches
– Found along western coasts of continents in middle latitudes

The answer is (d) Marine West coast climate, as it perfectly matches all three characteristics mentioned in the description.
