Answer:

A. t - 5 < 26°

Explanation:

Record low temperature for that date = 26°

Temperature at 10:00 PM = t

A fall in temperature by 5° = t - 5

Thus, this is said would mean the record low temperature would be breaking at this point, meaning the new temperature low recorded will be less than 26°.

In mathematical expression, this is expressed as;

t - 5 < 26°
