Solution

The correct option is A

Sleet


Sleets are those water droplets which have risen above the ground as water vapour during evaporation and got condensed at the upper layer of the atmosphere. From here when they pour down as rains sometimes the temperature around that area might be pretty cold so that by the time a droplet reaches the ground, it freezes to ice and comes down as what is called sleet.
