One of the following temperature regimes was not recognized by Köppen :

  • A.Tropical
  • B.Desert
  • C.Mid-latitude
  • D.Polar

Answer: B

The regime not recognised by Koppen among temperature regimes is desert.

Koppen's main groups A, C, D and E are defined by temperature: tropical (A), mid-latitude warm temperate and cold (C and D) and polar (E). Group B, which includes deserts (BW) and steppes (BS), is defined by moisture, by comparing precipitation with evaporation, not by temperature.

So tropical, mid-latitude and polar are all temperature-based groups, and desert is the odd one out.
