Answer:

B. They both described weather.

Step-by-step explanation:

Weather is the term used to describe the atmospheric conditions of a region, as well as climate, however there is a huge difference between these two terms.

The weather refers to the atmospheric conditions of a region in a certain period of time and that is subject to change at any time. We have an example of weather when we say that the day is sunny, or that there will be snow in the city for a week.

On the other hand, climate refers to atmospheric conditions in a region that are natural to that region, which do not change easily and generally never change. An example of climate occurs when we say that the northeast of Brazil has a hot and dry climate.

Accordingly, we can conclude that both Steve and Jack are talking about weather.
