Answer:
C. condensaton of water vapor
Explanation:
Clouds are formed when air containing water vapor is cooled below a critical temperature called the dew point and the resulting moisture condenses into droplets on microscopic dust particles (condensation nuclei) in the atmosphere. The air is normally cooled by expansion during its upward movement.
Precipitation occurs when the cloud particles grow large enough to fall and reach the ground before evaporation or sublimation.
