C cold, dry conditions in winter in the US Southeast
D flooding rains in winter along the southern part of the US Pacific coast

Answer 1

B hot, dry summer weather in the US southwest

Step-by-step explanation:

• A maritime air mass is associated with the warming of the air above the latitudes of United state's western and southern hemispheres.

• These winds bring warm, moist and unstable and originate in the Gulf of Mexico. Also, originate over the eastern Pacific in summer.

• Thus due to the development of high-pressure areas over the northern hemisphere and thus winds move in the downward low-pressure areas.
