Which type of clouds are most associated with thunderstorms?

✅Explanation:
Cumulonimbus clouds are large, towering clouds typically associated with thunderstorms. They are capable of producing severe weather phenomena, including heavy rainfall, lightning, hail, and even tornadoes. These clouds form due to strong upward air currents and can extend high into the atmosphere.

📌Other Options Explanations:
-(a) Cumulus clouds: These are puffy, fair-weather clouds.
-(c) Stratus clouds: These are sheet-like clouds that can cause light drizzle or mist.

🛑 Additional Information::
-Cirrus Cumulus Clouds are associated with detached thin clouds formed at an altitude of 8000-12000 m. They have a feathery appearance and are white in color.
-Cumulus Clouds exist as cotton wool at an altitude of 4000-7000 m.
-Stratus Clouds are layered, stratified and horizontal formed by loss of heat.
-Cumulonimbus are associated with thunderheads, which produce thunder and lightning.

• Nimbostratus cloud:
-A Nimbostratus cloud is a type of cloud characterized by its thick, dark, and featureless appearance.
-It is a low-level cloud that usually covers the entire sky like a blanket and brings steady, prolonged rain or snow.
-The term "nimbo" refers to its ability to produce precipitation, such as rain or snow, while "stratus" indicates its layered and widespread nature.
-Nimbostratus clouds often form ahead of warm or occluded fronts, and their continuous precipitation can last for hours or even days.
-These clouds are typically gray in color and can create overcast conditions, obscuring the sun and reducing visibility.
