Which condition would most likely result in fog?

A Airborne dust particles
B Warm moist air blowing over warm water
C Warm moist air blowing over cold water
D Dew point falling below the air temperature
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Warm moist air blowing over cold water. This condition is most likely to result in fog formation. When warm, moist air blows over a colder body of water, the air cools and the water vapor condenses, creating a dense fog. This is a common occurrence in coastal regions where warm air meets cooler ocean or lake temperatures. The other options are not as likely to result in fog. A) Airborne dust particles can contribute to haze but do not directly lead to fog formation. B) Warm moist air blowing over warm water would not result in significant cooling and condensation. D) Dew point falling below air temperature can lead to the formation of dew, but not necessarily fog.
