Hint:These numbers are on synoptic weather charts, commonly called a weather map and are termed weather station plots. Other symbols include R for rain, S for Snow, D for drizzle and H for hail.

Complete answer:
Option A: This is represented by a red ‘L’. This indicates sunny and generally calm weather. This is not the right option.

Option B: This is the correct answer. These areas are likely to witness storms.

Option C: These are represented in blue, while land patches are shown in green to display the contrast between the two as well. This is a wrong option.

Option D: A warm weather front is represented by a red line with half circles on it. This is an incorrect option.

So, the correct answer is option B.
