The correct answer is:

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

The dew point is the temperature at which air becomes saturated with moisture and water vapor begins to condense into liquid (dew). By definition, the dew point cannot exceed the air temperature, as this would imply that the air is holding more moisture than it can at that temperature.
