Answer: The best answer to this would be C, that all climates near the equator are warm.

Step-by-step explanation:

A does not work, because there are many exceptions, such as central Florida, which is recognized as a humid subtropical area. B is also incorrect because of Antarctica, and as for D, there exist many areas in India and Africa which are considered tropical, but are not particularly rainy or humid. On average, temperatures in low equatorial areas are 73-88 degrees F, which can be considered relatively warm by any standard.
