snow
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) frost. Frost is not a form of precipitation, which refers to any type of water that falls from the sky, such as rain, sleet, snow, or hail. Frost is the formation of ice crystals on a surface when the temperature drops below freezing, and it occurs through a process of deposition rather than precipitation. The other options, sleet, rain, and snow, are all forms of precipitation that fall from the sky.
