According this graph which statements is most appropriate ;

a) The air surrounding the leaf is very still, the layer of unstirred air on the surface of the leaf may be so thick that it is the primary deterrent to water vapor loss from the leaf   

b) The air surrounding the leaf is very still, reduces the thickness of the boundary layer at the leaf surface, reducing the resistance of this layer

c) The moving air reduces the thickness of the boundary layer at the leaf surface, reducing the resistance of this layer    

d) The moving air, the layer of unstirred air on the surface of the leaf may be so thick that it is the primary deterrent to water vapor loss from the leaf

Use the following figures to answer the question below.

East of the Mississippi River, in Hopkinsville Kentucky, the mean annual precipitation is 130 cm. The mean annual temperature is 14.3°C. In the winter, the mean temperature is 7.3°C, while in summer it is 20.6°C. Using the climograph shown here, how would we classify the biome found in Hopkinsville?
