The correct answer is - hot and dry.
The CT air masses are air masses that originate from deep inside the land masses in the tropical regions of the Earth. The ''C'' actually stands for continental, thus indicating the formation of the air mass over a land mass, while the ''T'' stands for tropical, thus indicating the tropical region of where the land mass over which this air mass forms.
Because these air masses form over land in the tropics, they are hot and dry. The hot and dry characteristics come from the bigger heating of the land masses, as well as the lack of water vapor over the land masses.

<u>Answer</u>:
When Uranium-238 decays, it emits 8 Alpha particles and 6 beta particles before finally becoming the stable daughter product. The atomic number and mass number of the daughter product is 92 and 234 respectively.
<u>Explanation</u>:
In the process of decay of Uranium-238, it emits alpha particles, and the resultant product is Thorium-234, which turns into Protactinium-234, and this Protactinium-234 undergoes the beta decay to form the Uranium-234.
As per the question, a stable daughter product is created after the emission of alpha and beta particles, this implies that Uranium-234 is a stable product after the decay of Uranium-238. Therefore, the atomic number is 92 (number of protons) and the mass number is 234 (protons+neutrons) which is also the element of the naming.
