Solution

The correct option is C 3
Based on origin, rainfall may be classified into three main types, convectional, orographic, and cyclonic. In convectional rainfall condensation happens when warm air rises to a certain height and cools down. In orographic rainfall, air has to ascend a slope, which reduces its temperature And in cyclonic rainfall, rainfall happens because warm air mass moves above the cold air mass.
