B

AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) predicted weather for the next twelve hours. Weather observations provided by weather stations typically include barometric pressure and change in the last three hours (A), visibility (B), and temperature (C). However, predicted weather for the next twelve hours is not a standard element of a weather observation, as it involves forecasting rather than current observation. Weather observations focus on reporting the current conditions, not future predictions.
