Explanation:

• Mars has a very thin atmosphere with little ozone, so lack of ozone shielding is a problem.
• The atmosphere of Mars is mostly carbon dioxide, not suitable for human breathing (composition issue).
• There is no liquid water on Mars' surface today, which is a problem.
• Mars has low atmospheric pressure (about 0.6% of Earth's), which is a problem.
• Mars has a cold climate (average -63°C), not extreme high heat at most latitudes.

Answer:

The extreme (high) heat at most latitudes
