    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    The annual range of temperature is greater in the Northern Hemisphere than that in the Southern Hemisphere. Since there is more land in Northern Hemisphere and more waters in Southern hemisphere and there is a big difference between the specific heat of land and water; the loss of heat from the continents is bigger than the oceans.
