Accepted Answer

Option D: 10011, 2104/. WMO reporting codes for air temperature require dry and wet bulb readings to be converted to tenths of degrees Celsius or properly formatted Fahrenheit equivalents. Standard code tables assign group identifiers 10 and 20 for dry and wet bulb temperatures respectively.
