Which of the following letters is over an area that experiences thunderstorms primarily due to cold and warm fronts?

2) C- storm surge, these produces strong winds and brings water into the shore and flood.which ultimately makes life very dangerous for in the coastal regions.

3)-A - surface winds slow down due to ground friction as the air becomes very calm and still just before the arrival of a Tornado.

4) only B and C follows .  

A does not follows because lightning occurs due to sudden electrostatic discharge and not due to electrical discharge.
