Based on the characteristics of a continental polar air mass, the correct answer is:
The temperature will decrease and humidity will decrease.
To understand why, we need to know the characteristics of a continental polar air mass. A continental polar air mass forms over land in cold regions and is characterized by its low temperature and low humidity. When this type of air mass moves into an area, it brings in colder air and reduces the moisture content in the atmosphere. As a result, the temperature in the area will decrease and the humidity will also decrease.
