Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fog that forms as warm rain falls into a cold layer of surface air is known as evaporation (mixing) fog. This is because the warm raindrops evaporate as they fall and mix with the cold surface air. This creates a foggy atmosphere. The other options listed are different types of fog - radiation fog forms on a clear, calm night when the ground cools rapidly, advection fog forms when warm, moist air blows over a cold surface, and upslope fog forms when moist air is forced to rise up a slope or mountain.
