    B The argument is invalid Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C The argument is partially valid Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D The argument is unrelated in climate change Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Explanation: A single cold winter does not disprove global warming, which is a long-term trend. The argument is invalid because it conflates short-term weather with long-term climate change.
