Great Wall
B
Gobi
C
Huang He Valley
D
Sahara
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Gobi Desert is considered a cold desert rather than a hot desert, even though it can get quite hot in the summer. The definition of a cold desert is one that experiences severely cold winters, and temperatures in the Gobi Desert routinely get below 0 F°.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Junggar Basin is one of the great intermontane basins of Central Asia. Situated between the Tian Shan and Altai mountain ranges, it supports a vast expanse of semi-desert habitat.

Detailed explanation-3: -Taklimakan Desert is a temperate desert, which belongs to typical continental climate. The temperature changes greatly and annual precipitation is low. The average temperature of July is 25 ℃, and that of January is about-9  -10 ℃.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Gobi (from Mongolian gobi, meaning “waterless place”) stretches across huge portions of both Mongolia and China. Contrary to the perhaps romantic image long associated with what-at least to the European mind-was a remote and unexplored region, much of the Gobi is not sandy desert but bare rock.
