All answers are kind of similar and none of these options are perfect.

We are going to chose the opcion b, the advantage is that the daily high temperature at cities give us a statistical sample about how latitude impact the temperature and how is the clime in those days.

Disadvantages is that we dont know the lower temperature and how the latitude impact in this case.
