Explanation:

A because the amount of ice cream sales doesn't relate to the number of births in a city.

B works because amount of ice cream sales can relate to money. Both C and D work because temperature could affect when people want to buy ice cream. (people most likely won't buy ice cream in the winter but most likely will in the summer)
