Solution

The correct option is D Both A and B
An artificial method of rain is called seeding cloud. In this method, tiny particles like silver iodide, 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 crystalises to form ice. Finally, it results in rain.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
