During the Shang Dynasty, the Chinese people were making the transition from farming to city life (option B).

Explanation:

Shang dynasty -established between 1600 and 1046 B.C.- corresponds perhaps to the second great Chinese dynasty, but the first with historical records that demonstrate its culture.

This dynasty was located between the territory now occupied by Hebei and Henan and its culture is related to the establishment in cities, the beginning of the Chinese bronze age and advances in astronomy and mathematics. The development of a military culture is also a feature of the Shang dynasty.

Although at first the economy of the Shang Dynasty was based on a farming and cattle-raising village, later the Chinese population settled to form large settlements in cities such as Anyang -the capital of the dynasty for more than two centuries- and Zhengzhou, which represents the Chinese people's shift from farming to urban life.

two jet streams that directly affect the formation of weather in the continental part are a polar jet and a subtropical jet. they are responsible for the transportation of weather systems, which directly affect people. the polar front is the boundary between cold air from the north pole and warmer equatorial air. both the polar jet and the subtropical jet blow from the west to the east, and follow the boundary between cold and warm air.

the strongest jet streams are polar jets, while subtropical jets are somewhat weaker.

the right answer is c. the polar jet stream is generaly stronger than the subtropical jet stream.
