Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rising pressure tendency indicates that the weather is likely to be clear and sunny, making sunscreen an important item to pack to protect your skin from the sun's rays. Snowshoes (A) and a helmet (D) may be necessary for specific types of hikes in certain conditions, but are not relevant or necessary based solely on the pressure tendency. A rain jacket (C) may also be a wise choice to pack in case of unexpected showers, but it is not the most important item based on the pressure tendency.
