Solution
The correct option is B Potassium iodide
- An artificial method of rain is called seeding cloud. It is a type of weather modification.
- This method aims at to change the amount of precipitation which falls from clouds. The method uses seeding of certain substances into the air that will serve as cloud condensation.
- In this, tiny particles like potassium iodide or dry ice are seeded (sprayed) in the atmosphere.
- The water present in the air is attracted and condenses near the sprayed particles.
- It further crystallises to form ice. Finally, it causes the rainfall.
- Thus, the correct answer is option A.
