AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) cold front. When cold air displaces warm air, it creates a cold front. A cold front occurs when a mass of cold air pushes into and replaces a mass of warmer air. This causes the warm air to be lifted, often resulting in clouds, precipitation, and potentially severe weather. The other options are incorrect because: A) A warm front occurs when warm air replaces cold air. B) An occluded front is a type of front that forms when a cold front overtakes a warm front. C) A stationary front is a front that is not moving.
