Explanation:

Fourth option is correct.
• Cool temperate continental (Siberian) climate is only experienced in northern hemisphere, where the continents within the high latitudes have a broad east west spread.
• Coniferous belts of Eurasia & North America are the richest sources of softwood and as they occur in pure strands they are commercially exploitable easily (Used in construction, furniture, matches, paper & pulp, rayon & other chemical products).
• Annual range of temperature is quite high due to extremes of temperature observed in this type of climate. This is due to continentality in these climatic zones.
