All of the following are associated with cumulonimbus clouds EXCEPT _______________.

A hail storms
B thunderstorms
C tornadoes or waterspouts
D steady rainfall
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) steady rainfall. Cumulonimbus clouds are associated with thunderstorms, hail, and the potential for tornadoes or waterspouts, but not with steady rainfall. Cumulonimbus clouds are characterized by their towering, anvil-shaped appearance and are known to produce these intense weather phenomena. However, steady rainfall is more typically associated with other cloud types, such as stratus or nimbostratus clouds, rather than the turbulent cumulonimbus clouds.
