The correct answer is true.
It is true that the climate of Northern Europe is generally colder and experiences more precipitation than Southern Europe.
Northern Europe has countries where weather conditions are cold, windy and with snow many months of the year. We are talking about Finland, Sweden, Norway, and Scotia. In wintertime, the weather can be extremely cold. On the other hand, Southern Europe has nice places to live and spend holidays such as the Mediterranean coast of Italy and France.
