The correct answer is: C. Both (A) and (B)
A warm steppe climate is a type of climate that is characterized by hot, dry summers and cold, dry winters. The average temperature in the warmest month is above 22 degrees Celsius (72 degrees Fahrenheit), and the average temperature in the coldest month is below 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit). The annual precipitation is low, typically less than 500 millimeters (20 inches).
The high temperature in summer is caused by the warm air masses that move into the region from the tropics. The high rate of evaporation is caused by the low humidity and the high temperatures. The combination of high temperature and high evaporation leads to a dry climate.
The warm steppe climate is found in many parts of the world, including central Asia, southern Africa, and the southwestern United States. The vegetation in this type of climate is typically short grasses and shrubs.
