A Correct answer
Explanation

C.W. Thornthwaite developed a climate classification system in 1948 that used evapotranspiration (potential and actual) as a key parameter, unlike Koppen's system which was based primarily on temperature and precipitation. Kendrew (Option C) and Austin Miller (Option D) were climatologists but not associated with the evapotranspiration-based classification.
