B. What was the highest temperature this month?
Step-by-step explanation:
Rory is recording the <em>high</em><em>est</em><em> temperature</em> for the duration of the day for month's worth of data.

A. is too broad, and does not imply that only the "high temperature" is needed, rather just a leveled temperature within day in that month.
C. is the opposite of what Rory had recorded, and without data, he cannot answer it.
D. is answerable as well, but, again, the only temperature recorded is the high temperature. Temperature can fluctuate depending on the time of the day, and can be in the 50s one hour and the 90s in another.
