Solution

The correct option is D hailstones
Water evaporates and gets converted into water vapour. It undergoes condensation and results in the formation of water droplets.
These water droplets combine together to form clouds. Once these clouds get heavy, they fall on the surface of the earth in the form of rain.
Big drops water solidifies to form pellets of ice known as hailstones.
