In which situation are leaves more likely to show frost instead of dew?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The leaf surface cools below freezing point

Correct answer: D. Dew and frost both require moisture and cooling, but the temperature of the receiving surface determines the final form. If a leaf cools to a temperature above freezing, water vapour can condense into liquid droplets, producing dew. If the leaf surface falls below the freezing point, water cannot remain as ordinary liquid dew under those conditions; vapour may deposit directly as ice crystals, or moisture may freeze on the leaf. That produces frost. D therefore gives the decisive condition. A is wrong because a warm, dry night provides little opportunity for either deposit. B is wrong because a surface above freezing favours dew rather than frost. C is not the relevant night-time condition and does not determine frost formation. Memory cue: above freezing—dew; below freezing—frost, provided moisture is available.
