Solution

The correct option is B Convection
Convection plays a major role in the formation of a thunderstorm. When warm air rises and meets the cold air, it condenses (releases latent heat). The heat helps fuel the thunderstorm. Then the downdraft forms, bringing cold air and precipitation down to the earth's surface.
