    Correct option is B

    Dry climates are divided into steppe or semi-arid climate (BS) and desert climate (BW).
    They are further subdivided as subtropical steppe (BSh) and subtropical desert (BWh) at latitudes from 15° - 35° and mid-latitude steppe (BSk) and mid-latitude desert (BWk) at latitudes between 35° - 60°.
    In Köppen's climate classification system, dry climates are subdivided using the capital letter S for semi-arid regions or steppe and W for the desert regions.
