Vineyard manager: Cold air runs off the slope and settles in our two low blocks, so frost has always taken more young growth there than on the slope, and the fans went in there. A fan is only started when the night is still, and ours ran on barely a third of this spring's frosts. Yet the low blocks lost a smaller share of their young growth than the slope did.

Which one of the following, if true, most helps to explain the discrepancy described above?

ALess frost fell this spring than in any of the past decade, and a fan does no good running on a night that brings none.

BA fan runs only when the night is still, and one running through a still frost pulls warmer air down over the low blocks and holds the cold off them till the wind gets up.

CThe low blocks and the slope carry one variety, and their buds open within a day in any spring.

DOn a still night the air in the two low blocks holds two degrees more cold at dawn than the air on the slope, and has done in every spring on record.

EAir runs off the slope and pools below only when the night is still, and on the frost nights that had no fan the wind held the cold on the slope.
