Explanation:

Analyze the geographic locations

Using the Climate Classification knowledge point
Hawaii is located in the tropics (below the Tropic of Cancer) and experiences warm temperatures year-round. The southern tip of Florida (including the Florida Keys and parts of the Everglades) is the only part of the contiguous United States that extends far enough south to experience a true tropical climate (specifically tropical wet-and-dry, Köppen Aw).

Evaluate the climate options

Using the Climate Classification knowledge point

• humid continental: Found across the northeastern and midwestern US and southern Canada; characterized by large seasonal temperature differences.
• tropical: Found only in Hawaii and the southern tip of Florida within the US and Canada.
• marine west coast: Found along the Pacific Northwest coast of the US and Canada.
• arid: Found in the southwestern US and parts of western Canada.

Answer:
