Can you also tell which option choice was the correct one??

I think (E) is the correct option,rest of the options either being too wordy or improper usage.

1.Mainly (in the previous) should be replaced with over.
2.Option B and D being too wordy.

Plz tell whether I am right or wrong..:)

are you sure if the "it" (in options D and E) refers to the temperature? Or is it referring to "globe", which is nearer to "it" ?

In E we dont know what 'it' stands for.

What made me choose option B is parallelism ...
the surface temperature of .......the surface temperature in

Thus Eliminating options C,D and E

Now can u guess the correct answer? :)
