The typical average temperature range of tropical climates is which?

• A. 20-30 deg C
• B. 0-10 deg C
• C. 30-40 deg C
• D. 10-20 deg C

Answer: (A)

Tropical climates stay warm throughout the year, with monthly averages clustered in a relatively narrow, comfortable range. The typical average temperature range in these regions falls around the low to mid-20s Celsius, so 20-30 deg C best represents the overall pattern. This reflects steady warmth rather than the cold conditions of near-freezing months or the extreme highs of deserts, which would push the average beyond that broad band. The other options imply temperatures that are too cold for tropical climates (0-10 and 10-20 deg C) or consistently extreme heat beyond the usual year-round average (30-40 deg C).
