There has been no significant snowfall in San Francisco since 1976, but that could be about to change: meteorologists are predicting that the rare conjunction of a Pacific rainstorm and a powerful front of cold air blowing south from Canada will lead to the region's first significant snowfall in over 25 years.

Which of the following do the statements above best support?

A. There has been no snow in San Francisco in 25 years.

B. There will soon be a snowstorm in San Francisco.

C. San Francisco is ill-equipped to handle a significant snowfall.

D. In some regions, Pacific rain rarely coincides with Canadian cold fronts.

E. It is not currently snowing in the Bay Area.

OPTION A:- INCORRECT
The option has deviated from the argument. The main point of the argument is that there has been no significant snowfall in San Francisco, not that there has been no snowfall at all.

OPTION B:- INCORRECT
The argument doesn't state that it will be a snowstorm, it states that it will be a significant snowfall in San Fransisco.

OPTION C- INCORRECT
The argument is concerned with how well equipped San Francisco is to handle a significant snowfall.

OPTION D:- CORRECT
The Pacific rain which rarely coincides with the Canadian cold fronts happens to be the reason why there has not been a significant snowfall in some regions like San Francisco.

OPTION E:- INCORRECT
This has deviated from the argument because the argument is concerned with the geographical location San Francisco not Bayside.
