Which statement is correct for hailstones?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: They are hard pieces of ice

Direct answer: B, hailstones are hard pieces of ice. Hail is a form of solid precipitation. In strong clouds with powerful upward air currents, water droplets or ice particles can freeze and grow in layers; when they become too heavy for the updraft to support, they fall to the ground as hard ice stones. A describes tiny liquid droplets, more closely related to drizzle or cloud droplets, not hail. C is wrong because water vapour is an invisible gas and cannot itself be seen as a falling stone. D is wrong because hail is formed from frozen water, not soil. Hail can damage crops, vehicles, and roofs, but its defining feature in this question is its solid icy nature. Memory cue: hail = hard ice falling from a cloud.
