Explanation:

The text states that deserts are characterized by extreme dryness (always dry as they get less than 10 inches of precipitation per year and precipitation evaporates quickly). It also mentions that deserts are usually very hot in the daytime (but not always hot, e.g., Antarctic desert is covered in snow and ice), so they are sometimes hot.

Answer:

C. They are sometimes hot and always dry.
