Solution

The correct option is A They become heavier.
The clouds moving in air are generally at higher levels. Sometimes the cool breeze coming along with air makes the clouds cooler. This leads to water droplets present in the clouds to condense and form large water drops. Further cooling of clouds increases the size of their water drops and clouds become heavy and descend towards the earth.
