A)cloud droplets-collision and coalescence-condensation nuclei-raindrops

Condensation nuclei first provide a surface for water vapor to condense onto and form cloud droplets. These droplets are then subject to collision and coalescence, where they join together and grow into larger droplets. Finally, these larger raindrops fall to the ground as precipitation. Therefore, the correct sequence is condensation nuclei-cloud droplets-collision and coalescence-raindrops, which is represented by choice C.
