It is common for freshwater lakes near or above a latitude of north of the equator, like Lake Stechlin in Germany, 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?
Näckten is at a higher latitude than Lake Kegonsa and typically had fewer days of ice per winter than Lake Kegonsa did.
A
Spirit Lake had 102 days of ice in the winter of 1980-81 and 126 of 2005-06
B
Näckten had 177 days of ice in the winter of 1980-81 and 134 days of ice in the winter of 2005-06
C
Näckten is at a higher latitude than Lake Kegonsa and typically had more days of ice per winter than Lake Kegonsa did.
