Hygroscopic nuclei attract water molecules, allowing for water vapor to condense onto them more readily, resulting in a larger droplet. Additionally, hygroscopic nuclei allow for droplet formation at lower relative humidity levels. In contrast, hydrophobic nuclei repel water molecules and result in smaller droplets. Therefore, the correct answer is D, as both A and C are accurate.
