How can the presence of both ice crystals and water droplets inside a cloud affect precipitation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It can help particle growth and precipitation process

Correct answer: A. A cloud containing both ice crystals and supercooled liquid droplets is a mixed-phase cloud. Ice and liquid water have different vapour pressures, so water vapour can move preferentially toward ice crystals under suitable conditions. The crystals may grow while nearby droplets shrink or freeze onto them. Collisions and further growth can produce snow particles or, after melting, raindrops. This increases the chance that particles become heavy enough to fall as precipitation. Option A is correct because mixed-phase processes promote particle growth. Option B is wrong because such clouds can produce precipitation. Option C is wrong because clouds do not become rock. Option D is wrong because the process redistributes moisture rather than removing all of it. Memory cue: ice crystals can grow at the expense of nearby supercooled droplets.
