Which of the following BEST describes the predicted changes?

A) Central South America will warm by an average of 7-8 degrees; central Africa will warm by around 3-4 degrees.
B) Central South America will warm by an average of more than 8 degrees; central Africa will warm by 1-2 degrees.
C) Central South America will remain about the same; central Africa will warm by 7-8 degrees.
D) Central South America will warm by 2-3 degrees; central Africa will not change.
E) Both central South America and central Africa will warm by 4-5 degrees.
