Question 1207Navigation General

The correct answer is B) cirrus. Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy, high-altitude clouds that resemble "mares' tails" in appearance. They are composed primarily of ice crystals and typically indicate the approach of a warm front or weather system change. The other cloud types listed are not associated with the "mares' tails" appearance - stratus are low, gray, layered clouds, altostratus are mid-level, gray, sheet-like clouds, and cumulus are puffy, towering clouds.
