Answer

Correct option: C.
The high temperature produces upward rising winds, that carry water droplets with them and results in heavy rainfall accompanied by a lightning.
Thunderstorms happen when there is strong warming at the Earth’s surface, creating an unstable atmosphere. That hot surface air rises, cooling as it does so, creating clouds and fueling heavy rain.
