Answer:

d

Step-by-step explanation:

Weather is constantly changing for example it is raining today however, tomorrow it will be sunny and hot. On the contrary, climate is the weather over time. For example, if it is usually hot most days then the climate is hot. If it only hot that day then it is weather, if it was hot for the past 5 months (as an example) then it is climate. Hope this helps.
