Dominant weather system of the temperate zone?

What is the dominant weather system of the temperate zone?
A) Frontal zone
B) Divergence zone
C) Depressions
D) High pressure
E) A and C
F) B and C

I think C is correct because depressions bring wind, cloud, and rain to the UK but I'm not sure if A or B is right. I think A is right because we do have a lot of warm and cold fronts in the UK but I'm not sure.

Can anyone help?

The answer surely is E as the UK is in the Temperate zone which is an area of convergenges not divergence but the convergence produces depressions as it is the meeting of the cold Polar cell and the warm Ferrel cel which produces the condition ideal for the formation of fronts.
