Based on the results of Study 2, which of the following generalizations could be made about the difference in temperatures between summer and winter for the three sites?
A. Dune areas are the warmest areas in the summer and the coldest areas in the winter.
B. Lake areas are the coldest areas in the winter and the warmest areas in the summer.
C. Forest areas are the warmest areas in the winter and the warmest areas in the summer.
D. Dune areas are the coldest areas in the winter and the coldest areas in the summer.

Study 2
Air temperatures were recorded hourly over a 24-hour period at 3 sites: above the deepest part of a large body of water (the lake site), an adjacent sand dune site, and a nearby forest site. Temperatures were recorded on 30 consecutive days during the summer and 30 consecutive days during the winter. Each hourly temperature was averaged for the season. The results are shown in Figure 2.
