Which of the following region is the most 'energy deficit' region in terms of latitudinal heat balance ?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

In the global latitudinal heat balance, there is a net radiation surplus between 38∘ N38^\circ\text{ N} and 38∘ S38^\circ\text{ S} and a net energy deficit poleward of 38∘38^\circ, with the maximum energy deficit occurring in the extreme polar zones between 80∘80^\circ and 90∘90^\circ latitudes in both hemispheres.
