B

D
50°F
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 50°F. To determine the dew point temperature given the dry bulb and wet bulb temperatures, we can use psychrometric charts or tables. Based on the provided dry bulb temperature of 74°F (23°C) and wet bulb temperature of 60°F (16°C), the dew point temperature is approximately 50°F. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the dew point temperature for the given dry bulb and wet bulb temperatures. Option A (14°F) is too low, Option B (20°F) is too low, and Option C (28°F) is also too low compared to the correct dew point of 50°F.
