AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Rain with the approach of a warm front. The presence of "hook" or "comma" shaped cirrus clouds is typically associated with the approach of a warm front. These cloud formations indicate the presence of rising warm air ahead of the frontal system, which can lead to the development of rain and precipitation as the warm front moves in. In contrast, the other answer choices do not accurately describe the weather patterns associated with this type of cloud formation.
