Why is hail formation different from ordinary raindrops?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It forms by repeated freezing of drops in strong updrafts

The correct answer is C. Hail usually develops in a powerful cumulonimbus cloud where strong updrafts carry water drops upward into very cold air. The drops freeze, may collect additional supercooled water, and can be lifted again. Repeated upward and downward movement builds layers of ice. When a hailstone becomes too heavy for the updraft, it falls to the ground. A is wrong because hail is associated with strong convective clouds, not only warm stratus clouds. B and D do not describe atmospheric hail formation. Memory cue: hail means strong updraft plus repeated freezing and layering.
