What did the students most likely see when they checked the plastic bags?

The bag on the windowsill had more condensation than the bag in the closet.

The windowsill bag was empty, but the bag in the closet was full.

The bag in the closet had more condensation than the bag on the windowsill.

Both bags showed equal amounts of evaporation.

Which is the best description of the temperature in a coastal climate zone?
