What comprises climate?

Explanation:
Climate is the long-term pattern of key atmospheric factors—temperature, sunlight, rainfall, humidity and wind—averaged over many years. This distinguishes it from weather, which is what happens day to day. In wine terms, climate helps explain the typical conditions a region experiences that affect grape ripening and character. The other options describe day-to-day weather, or elements like grape varieties and soils that influence wine but are not climate.
