Question 40: Which of the following best summarises the passage?

A. Extreme heat is becoming more common because climate change has made summers warmer, so communities should focus on better forecasts, shorter working hours, and stronger emergency care.

B. Extreme heat now functions less like an isolated weather event and more like a recurring system-level pressure, requiring structural responses in work, cities, and public health.

C. Extreme heat is being normalised through repeated exposure, physical strain, and unequal access to protection, making it an increasingly uneven social burden.

D. Extreme heat should be understood mainly as an economic problem, since its most serious effects appear when workers slow down and urban systems can no longer maintain normal productivity.
