D) cumuliform clouds.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cloud seeding using silver iodide works by promoting the formation of ice crystals, and it is most effective in cold clouds composed of both ice crystals and supercooled droplets. In warm clouds composed of water droplets, the silver iodide particles may not have enough time to promote ice crystal formation before the droplets evaporate or fall as rain. Cumuliform clouds are a broad category of clouds that can be warm or cold and can contain both water droplets and ice crystals, so this answer is too broad.
