Solution

The correct option is B bottom
Clouds have water stored in solid and liquid forms. The solid hailstones strip off electrons from liquid water. Since the solid hailstones are heavier than water and contain more number of electrons, they settle to the bottom parts of a cloud, and thus initiate lightning.
