Polar regions receive nearly continuous sunlight in the summer months so why doesn't the mean temperature during those months get above 10C?
 
  A) The reflection of the sun's energy (albedo) by the ice and snow prevents the area from warming.
  B) The sun's energy has to heat the frozen atmosphere in order to reach the land and that takes all summer.
  C) In the summer, the winds blow from the cold oceans and keep the temperatures low.
  D) The sun is too low in the sky to be an effective heat source.
  E) The ozone layer has thinned significantly over the polar regions and this prevents heat from being trapped near the surface in those areas.
