Which of the following dew points is least likely to be found in the United States?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

This item asks which dew point value is least likely to be found in the United States. 
First, note that dew point is typically reported in degrees Fahrenheit (°F) in the U.S., and values generally range from well below freezing (0°F and below) up to around 70–75°F in extremely humid environments; values approaching 90°F or higher are exceedingly rare in the continental U.S. and would indicate conditions more typical of tropical climates. 
However, a fundamental issue with this question as presented is that the list of answer options is missing. The provided data shows an answer of "97 degrees Fahrenheit" but there are no other options to compare, nor a clear set from which to determine which is least likely. 
Without the competing options, we cannot systematically evaluate why one choice is less likely than the others, nor identify any misconceptions tied to the non-existent alternatives. 
If we were to reason from general meteorology alone, a dew point of 97°F would imply an air temperature well above that value (since the dew point is the temperature at which air would become saturated if cooled at constant pressure), and such an extreme dew point is not observed in typical U.S. weather stations except possibly in very localized, exceptionally rare, tropical-influenced environments. Therefore, as a standalone inference, 97°F dew point would indeed be among the least likely values for the United States. 
But because no other answer options are provided for comparison, this reasoning cannot definitively determine the correct choice among multiple options. If you can supply the full set of answer options, I can walk through each one and clearly explain why each would be considered more or less likely than the others, and identify the least likely value with precise justification.
