1. Option e. B, C and D
All the three options (B, C, and D) are correct for this and thus the answer is option e. The precipitation formation process in clouds at the middle and high latitudes is referred to as the ice-crystal model or Bergeron process in Meteorology. In this process, the clouds form at altitudes where the temperatures are below the freezing point of water. In these clouds, even though the temperatures below the freezing point, the water exists in its liquid form super-cooled cloud droplets. In this case, at temperatures below freezing the saturation vapor pressure of ice is less than that over a droplet of water.
2. Option e. Land-sea Breezes
Land-sea breezes fit perfectly under the mesoscale circulation and happen because of the temperature differences between the land and the sea. The migratory high and low-pressure systems is a large-scale circulation. The polar easterlies also come under large-scale circulation and so are the general atmospheric circulations.
3. Option e. Just the equator
The Equator possesses the highest chance of a fair weather throughout the year compared to any other latitudes as it is warmer and comfortable for the most part of the year. The other options listed can have a really cold weather at times.
4. Option e. 90 N&S; 30 N&S
These latitudes have an extremely cold and harsh weather at winter seasons making them the best option to experience inclement weather.
5. Option d. unstable
Unstable or Absolute unstable condition occurs when an air parcel will be warmer and less dense than the surrounding air and will rise due to buoyant forces. If the rising is dependant on whether it is saturated or not then the condition is referred to as the conditionally unstable. However, since no such condition is mentioned in the question, the option must be 'unstable'.
