The factor that would have the net effect of making a place warmer during summer would be that it is in the middle of a landmass.
The reason why a warmer summer would be present at the middle of a landmass is because landmass:
1. Has a lower specific heat capacity, and therefore can be heated up quickly, through receiving insolation from the sun.
2. Land is opaque, therefore insolation only concentrate in shallow areas, making the surface temperature increase.
3. There is no mixing of warm and cold layers, along with the lack of presence of evaporation, there would be less cooling
In sum, the above effects can be called continental climate, and thus the middle of a land mass is cooler.
For your reference, here's why the other options are not correct:
At a high elevation near an ocean - near the ocean would mean it has a maritime effect and therefore a cooler summer.
At a high latitude - with the less dense air, heat will be absorbed faster resulting in faster heat loss hence a cooler summer.

In geography, the temperature in a given location is affected by different factors, mainly latitude, altitude, pressure, the weather, and ocean currents.
- Pressure – d. Affects temperature, moisture, and storm tracks. Pressure and temperature are directly linked: when one increases, so does the other, and vice versa. If cold air (which is dense and dry) encounters warm air, the warmer air will rise to the top because density makes cold air heavier. The air pressure at the surface will fall. This newly-formed low pressure system creates winds and storms.
- Geographic position – b. Local topography helps predict temperature and precipitation. It depends whether you are on a mountain, in the North pole, in the ocean, etc.
- Oceans – d. Sea surface temperature influences air temperature and evaporation rates. Sea surface temperature is where the water's temperature meets the air's temperature. As a result of a high difference between the two (as explained in 1.), storms or variations in the atmosphere can happen. Besides, warm water makes surface air warmer, which increases the temperature in nearby land areas, and vice versa.
- Mountains – c. Thinner air less able to hold heat makes climate colder. At high altitude, the air is less dense, which means it can't absorb and retain heat very well.
- Latitude – a. Affects temperature by influencing the seasonal range of solar intensity. This geographic coordinate helps determine how far north or south a particular point is on the surface of the earth, with the equator and the poles as reference points. All latitude lines are therefore parallel to the equator, which has more solar intensity. The higher the latitude (i.e., the closer you get to the poles) the lower the temperature, and vice versa.
From the choices of countries, the MOST heavily industrialized is Germany.
Answer:
The foremost British interest in Egypt was always because of its strategic position. However profitable contracts and business was in the country, it was the fact that Egypt lay between Britain and India that made it so vitally important for the British.
