Can the dew point temperature be greater than the air temperature?(1 point)

No, as this would mean that the air does not hold any water vapor.

Yes, as the dew point temperature depends only on the humidity.

No, as this would mean that the air holds more water vapor than it can.

The dew point temperature is the temperature at which air becomes saturated with water vapor, and it cannot exceed the current air temperature. If the dew point were higher than the air temperature, it would indicate that the air is oversaturated, which is not physically possible.
