Question

Why do hikers attempt to climb Mount Everest only during a two-week period each year?

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct answer is D.  There are only two weeks each year when the weather is calm enough for climbing to be safe.

Explanation:

The only correct answer is D as the weather on the mountain is terrible, therefore only during the spam of two weeks the weather conditions are good enough to finish the climbing.

All other options are therefore wrong as they are not the reasons why the Everest is to be climbed during the course of two weeks.
