Explanation

Choice D is correct. It's given that for a snowstorm in a certain town, the minimum rate of snowfall recorded was $0.6$ inches per hour, the maximum rate of snowfall recorded was $1.8$ inches per hour, and $s$ represents a rate of snowfall, in inches per hour, recorded for this snowstorm. It follows that the inequality $0.6 \leq s \leq 1.8$ is true for all values of $s$ .

Choice A is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

Choice B is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
