    (B) heated air in an uninsulated, unvented attic.

    Explanation:

    -Ice dams are formed by an interaction between snow cover, outside temperatures, and heat lost through the roof - more specifically, from heat loss through the poorly insulated ceiling of the house into the attic area and under the roof.

    -Hot, humid air trapped in attics can also cause moisture to accumulate, resulting in mold or mildew.
