What is the direct reason for reduced visibility during fog?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Suspended tiny water droplets scatter light

Correct answer: A. Fog is a cloud at or close to the Earth’s surface, consisting mainly of numerous tiny liquid-water droplets suspended in air; in sufficiently cold conditions, ice particles may also be involved. These particles scatter and partly absorb light travelling between an observer and an object. The light reaching the eye becomes weaker and less sharply defined, so distant objects are difficult to see and visibility falls. Option B is wrong because water vapour as a gas is generally invisible and does not itself create the characteristic thick white screen of fog. Option C is wrong because fog is not merely dry dust, although dust or other particles can sometimes help droplets form as condensation nuclei. Option D is wrong because foggy air is not a vacuum. Memory cue: fog means suspended droplets, and droplets scatter light.
