It is common for freshwater lakes near or above a latitude of 45° north of the equator, like Lake Mjosa in Norway, 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 some lakes in these latitudes have seen a decline in the duration of ice between the early 1980s and the mid-2000s.
Which choice best describe data in the table that support the researcher's claim?
Kalmarinjärvi had fewer days of ice in the winter of 2005-06 that it did in the winter of 1980-81.
A
Kalmarinjärvi is at a higher latitude than Mirrow Lake and typically had fewer days of ice per winter than Mirrow Lake did.
B
Kalmarinjärvi is at a higher latitude than Mirrow Lake and typically had more days of ice per winter than Mirrow Lake did.
C
Lake Neusiedl had more days of ice in the winter of 2005-06 than it did in the winter of 1980-81.
D
