C
The humid continental climate occurs in areas of higher latitude than the subarctic climate.
D
The subarctic climate has wet summers, while the humid continental climate has dry summers.

Explanation

Humid continental climates typically have warm to hot summers, while subarctic climates have brief, cool summers and long, very cold winters. That makes “The humid continental climate has hot summers, while the subarctic climate has short, cool summers” the accurate difference. Subarctic climates occur at higher latitudes, so choice C reverses their locations.
