Answer:

B. Has hot dry summers and cool wet winters

Step-by-step explanation:

The Mediterranean climate is characterized by warm to hot, dry summers and gentle rainy winters. This broad depiction, however, conceals significant differences, which may be explained by the existence of two geographical gradients between north and south, with a warmer and drier south, also west and east, which is impacted more by Atlantic and Asian circulation.
