It can be inferred from the passage that the air temperature at the time of condensation in the past, when snow fell,

1. can be determined from the ratio of hydrogen and oxygen isotopes in the air
2. correlates with the average air temperature in that area at that time
3. correlates with the average air temperature in that area at the time of measurement
4. creates land ice of a higher density at higher temperatures

Correct answer: correlates with the average air temperature in that area at that time

Solution

The inference is about the temperature conditions when the snow originally formed. Such information is linked to the average air temperature in that area at that time, not to the time of measurement or to isotope ratios directly.
