How can strong wind weaken the process of dew formation?

Correct answer: It removes the cool, moist layer near the surface

Correct answer: A. Dew needs a surface to cool and a moist layer of air close to that surface. When the air is calm, this near-surface layer can remain in contact with the cooling ground and reach saturation. Strong wind causes turbulence and mixing. It can replace the cooled, moist air near the ground with warmer or drier air from above or from another area. The surface may then not reach the dew point, or the droplets may be disturbed and evaporate. B is wrong because wind does not always cool a surface to the dew point; its effect depends on the temperature and moisture of the moving air. C describes frost under suitable freezing conditions, not the normal effect of wind on dew. D is wrong because wind does not automatically remove clouds. A useful caution is that gentle air movement can sometimes supply moisture, but strong turbulent wind is generally unfavourable for dew formation. Memory cue: dew likes a quiet, moist boundary layer; strong wind mixes it away.
