To determine the highest and lowest surface temperatures based on typical daily temperature patterns, the highest temperature usually occurs in the late afternoon, around 4 PM to 6 PM, while the lowest temperature generally occurs in the early morning, just before sunrise, often around 6 AM.
Given those patterns, the response that aligns most closely would be:
B. 6:00 PM; 6:00 AM.
This option suggests a high temperature at 6 PM and a low at 6 AM, which makes sense according to typical diurnal temperature changes.
