Complete step by step solution:

What?
Germany is Europe's fourth largest country with a total area of 356,970 square kilometres (137,827 square miles).
The nation has a broad variety of terrain, ranging from low-lying coastal flats in the North and Baltic Coasts, to a central region of rolling hills and river valleys, to densely forested mountains and the snow-covered Alps in the South.
Germany has a long, complicated history and a vibrant culture, but it did not become a single country until 1871.
The nation has a total population of 82,071,765 (1997 estimates).
Germany is predominantly urban, where most residents have a stable, healthy lifestyle, and ample leisure time and a comprehensive social life.


Geography

From the Baltic Sea to the North Sea to the Alps, Germany is approximately 800 kilometres (about 500 miles) from the north to the south;
The nation is approximately 600 kilometres (about 400 miles) from the west to the east.
In addition to coastlines and mountains, the diverse geography comprises forests, deserts, plains and river valleys.
Several navigable rivers cross the uplands and canals bind the river networks of the rivers Elbe, Rhine and Danube and link the North Sea to the Baltic Sea.


Climate

Germany has a mostly mild climate, characterised by cold winters and sunny summers.
River valleys, such as the Rhine, tend to be humid and much warmer in both winter and summer, while mountain regions can be much colder.
On average, precipitation is much heavier in the south, particularly along the Alpine slopes, which cause incoming weather fronts to rise and release moisture in the form of rain and snow.


Hence, the correct answer is option A.

Note:
Germany has been called the "Country of Poets and Philosophers."Germans are renowned for all forms of art, but particularly classical music.
The prominent German composers include Bach, Brahms, Schumann, Wagner and Beethoven.
