Answer 2

Answer: A) The temperatures in Central America were 0.1 to 1.5 degrees higher, on average.

Step-by-step explanation:

No map is attached but this should be the correct answer.

Studies show that since 1951 temperatures in Central America have risen by around 0.5°C and will probably rise by another degree before the year 2050.

This rise in temperatures means that Central America is one of the more vulnerable areas to climate change in the world with Honduras for instance being said to be the most affected nation by climate change from the years 1994 to 2013.
