It is common for freshwater lakes near or above a latitude of north of the equator, like Opeongo Lake in Canada, to accumulate surface ice in winter. The amount and duration of ice depends on many factors, including local weather conditions as well as the lake's depth, volume, and surface area, but a climate researcher claims that the higher a lake's latitude, the more days per winter it will typically have measurable amounts of surface ice.
Which choice best describes data in the table that support the researcher's claim?
Oulujärvi is at a higher latitude than Mirror Lake and typically had fewer days of ice per winter than Mirror Lake did.
A
Oulujärvi had 194 days of ice in the winter of 1980-81 and 155 days of ice in the winter of 2005-06.
B
Oulujärvi is at a higher latitude than Mirror Lake and typically had more days of ice per winter than Mirror Lake did.
C
Lake Neusiedl had 77 days of ice in the winter of 1980-81 and 104 days of ice in the winter of 2005-06.
D
