\begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|}
\hline City & Climate & \begin{tabular}{c}
Day Temperature \\
( \( { }^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \) )
\end{tabular} & \begin{tabular}{c}
Night Temperature \\
('C)
\end{tabular} \\
\hline City A & dry & -11 & -30 \\
\hline City B & wet & 5 & -4 \\
\hline City C & wet & 14 & 6 \\
\hline City D & dry & 26 & 17 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

C. City C because it recelves plenty of rainfall and the weather is moderately cool
D. Ciry D because the hot and dry weather would cause rocks to absorb water.
