Answer:

It b continental climate zone

Explanation:

because it has cold long winter

receives a lot of snow.

The harshest European climate zone to settle in during medieval times was the continental climate zone, which is option 2, due to its extreme temperatures and particularly severe winters.

During medieval times, the harshest European climate zone to settle in was the continental climate zone.

This climate, which dominates central and eastern Europe, including most of Germany and Scandinavia, features warm summers and cold winters.

The temperature extremes increase with distance from the moderating influence of the Atlantic Ocean, making winters particularly severe and challenging for settlement.

These conditions made it more challenging for consistent agricultural productivity

Additionally, while generally wet year-round, the conditions were not as conducive to consistent agricultural productivity compared to other climate zones like the maritime or Mediterranean climates.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2 that is "the continental climate zone".
