Plz help I’m being timed North Dakota has the highest residential energy consumption, per capita, of any state in the US. New York's consumption is 47th on the list. Given that New York has a larger population, which choice offers one possible explanation for this difference?

Ibelieve the answer is relative humidity  because it makes more sense that way. solar flares usually occur in space it doesn't affect the earth, well it could but it wont make a significant damage.  latitude is land it doesnt do anything. prevailing winds, i dont know the correct meaning for this but i doubt that affects the land so it has to be relative humidity.
