A is humid and subtropical throughout the year
B has an east coast marine type of climate
C has a Mediterranean type of climate
D varies from warm to subtropical
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) varies from warm to subtropical. The climate of the eastern Gulf coast varies from warm to subtropical, with temperatures and precipitation levels that change significantly from the northern to the southern parts of the region. The northern parts of the eastern Gulf coast tend to have a warmer climate, while the southern parts have a more subtropical climate. This variation in climate is due to the region's proximity to the Gulf of Mexico and the differences in latitude. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the climate of the entire eastern Gulf coast. Option A is too broad, as the climate is not humid and subtropical throughout the year. Option B is incorrect, as the eastern Gulf coast does not have an East Coast marine type of climate. Option C is incorrect, as the climate is not Mediterranean in nature.
