Answer is A, City A has a more moderate climate (less change in max and min temperatures) due to the large body of water.
There's enough information to determine. Hope it helps. Cheers.

Hi!.. According to me, Option E's definitely OUT, as the information is specific enough to lead us to an answer.
Then, as you can observe, City A has recorded a moderate range of temperature, both in Jan and July. the spread between the high and low temp being less; as for City B, it has more spread/ band between it's high and low temp, showing the extremity of weather. Hence, I can safely conclude that City A is an island city, as the humidity prevalent on an island city controls and maintains a uniformity in the temperature, whereas City B is definitely a desert city, going by the volatility in weather. So, option A's the answer. Hope the answer suffices your doubt! :)

Most likely A is an island and B is a desert, But I don't think there's enough information given to say that definitively.
