Explanation / Answer

Option (c) is correct

Because if we apply any forecasting technique it will predict the data based on past (historical) experience

the climatologist's prediction is probably wrong. Since the past few winters have not had very cold weather, it is more likely that the next winter will also not have very cold weather.

we should use "Law of averages" for better prediction
