As a warm front with precipitation approaches, it typically brings with it high-level clouds followed by mid-level clouds and then low-level clouds. Cirrus clouds (high-level) are often the first to be seen, followed by cirrostratus and altostratus clouds (both mid-level) as the front approaches. Finally, nimbostratus clouds (low-level) bring the precipitation. This sequence matches option B, which lists them in the correct order.
