Answer:
b. Tall oak trees
Explanation:
In order for the owner to be able to have energy benefit for the home in a place with hot summers and cold winters, the most practical thing would be to have tall oak trees in front of the large glass windows on the southern side. The reason for this is that the oak trees will be beneficial in both seasons. During the hot summers, the oak trees will provide a lot of shade, thus lowering the temperature on the southern side where the large glass windows are. During the winter, the oak trees will have no leafs on them, meaning that the southern side will be able to get the needed sunlight in this period. We come to a situation where the oak trees will reduce the energy spending for cooling down in the summer, and it will reduce the energy spending for warming up in the winter.

When winds move air masses, they carry their weather conditions (heat or cold, dry or moist) from the source region to a new region. When the air mass reaches a new region, it might clash with another air mass that has a different temperature and humidity. This can create a severe storm.
