What type of clouds are associated with a cold front?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Cumulus and cumulonimbus.
Cold fronts are typically associated with the development of vertically-developed, convective cloud types such as cumulus and cumulonimbus. As the cold front moves through, the warmer, moist air ahead of the front is forced to rise, leading to the formation of these towering, vertically-developed cloud types. In contrast, the other answer choices, such as altostratus, cirrus, and fracto-cumulus, are not as closely linked to the weather patterns associated with cold fronts.
