B 10340, 2127/
C 10111, 2104/
D 10011, 2104/
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 10011, 2104/. This is correct because: 1. With a dry bulb temperature of 34°F and a wet bulb temperature of 31°F, the air temperature group should be encoded as 10011, which represents a temperature range of 30-34°F. 2. The second group, 2104/, represents the wet bulb temperature of 31°F. 3. The other answer choices do not accurately represent the given temperatures.
