Answer 1

The purpose of all interactions among the components of a climate system is primarily **B. to transfer thermal energy around the world.** This transfer of thermal energy drives various processes in the climate system, including the formation of weather patterns and climate zones, which can also influence human activities and ecosystems. While other options may be secondary effects or consequences of climate system interactions, the fundamental purpose is the transfer of energy.
