Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The primary motivation for hail suppression experiments is to prevent or lessen damage to crops and property, therefore choice A is the best answer. While generating more rain and less hail or reducing loss of human life are possible secondary benefits, they are not the primary motivation for hail suppression experiments. Protecting endangered species living in hail-prone areas is also not a significant factor in determining whether to conduct hail suppression experiments.
