What is a sheet-like layer of cloud called?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Stratus clouds

Correct answer: A, stratus clouds. Stratus clouds spread horizontally as a broad, fairly uniform sheet or layer. They may make the sky look overcast and can sometimes produce light drizzle, but the key feature in this question is their layered appearance. B is wrong because cumulus clouds are separate, rounded heaps with vertical development rather than a continuous sheet. C is wrong because cirrus clouds are high, thin, and feather-like, usually appearing as streaks rather than a low, even blanket. D is wrong because hail is a form of precipitation and “hail clouds” is not the standard cloud-type name for a sheet-like layer. The word stratus comes from the idea of something spread out in layers. Memory cue: stratus = strata or layers; cumulus = heaps; cirrus = wisps or feathers.
