Concept:The given weather data (temperature and humidity averages) is used to identify a city by matching its typical climate patterns.
Explanation:First, examine the temperature range. January maximum is only 18.8°C and minimum 7.5°C. This rules out coastal cities like Kochi and Chennai, which remain hot (max above 30°C) throughout the year.
Next, consider Karnal in Haryana. It has a hot summer with temperatures often above 40°C, but the given data shows April–June max between 35.6°C and 38.8°C, which is lower. Also, Karnal's winter minima are colder than the data shows? Actually, the data shows mild winter; but the high summer temperatures do not match the extreme heat of Karnal.
Now check Shimla, a hill station in Himachal Pradesh. It has a subtropical highland climate with cool summers and cold winters. The given data: January max 18.8°C, min 7.5°C; April max 35.6°C, min 20.3°C; July max 33.1°C, min 25.9°C. These values align well with Shimla's weather—mild spring, warm summer, and cool monsoon. The humidity also increases in July (76%), consistent with monsoon.
Thus, Shimla is the best match.
Answer:B. Shimla
