To determine which city experiences the driest climate, we need to examine the average annual precipitation for each city. The table provides the average annual precipitation in millimeters (mm) for four cities:

- Las Vegas: 110 mm
- London: 600 mm
- Singapore: 2,340 mm
- Moscow: 688 mm

The city with the driest climate is the one with the lowest average annual precipitation. Let’s compare the values:

1. Las Vegas has an annual precipitation of 110 mm.
2. London has an annual precipitation of 600 mm.
3. Singapore has an annual precipitation of 2,340 mm.
4. Moscow has an annual precipitation of 688 mm.

Among these figures, 110 mm (Las Vegas) is the smallest number. Therefore, the city with the lowest average annual precipitation, indicating the driest climate, is Las Vegas.

So, the correct answer is:

B. Las Vegas
