Explanation:

The first - part of the question asks for a variable, and snowfall (in inches) is a valid variable among the options. For the scatter - diagram, the x - axis should represent one variable and the y - axis the other. Since snowfall is the variable of interest and distance is another related variable, the scatter - diagram should have distance on the x - axis and snowfall on the y - axis. Option C has distance on the x - axis and snowfall on the y - axis.

Answer:

B. Snowfall (inches)
C.
