The best answer is B.

While it is possible that the temperature can rise to more than 100º F (C), and it could also be cold at night (A), the presence of palm trees and sand dunes suggests a desert environment, which typically receives very little rain each year. Therefore, option B is the most likely conclusion based on the visual information provided.
