Good visibility and steady precipitation.
Poor visibility and steady precipitation.
Poor visibility and intermittent precipitation.
None of these
The correct answer is:
Explanation: The characteristics of stable air are: layered clouds and fog, continuous precipitation, smooth air, fair to poor visibility in haze and smoke. In juxtaposition, the characteristics of unstable air are: cumuliform clouds (grouped clouds), showery (spotty) precipitation, rough (turbulent) air, good visibility (except in blowing obstructions).
