Option 2 : D

The correct answer is D.​

  • Clouds are created when water gets heated up, evaporates, and condenses in the upper atmosphere.
  • The condensed form of water in the atmosphere is due to the low temperature. 
  • As clouds have less density and high volume as compared to the air surrounding them, so the clouds experience a high buoyancy force from the surrounding air, which supports the balance of the weight of the clouds.
  • Buoyancy is the force due to all the air molecules below the cloud resisting any downward motion.
  • Therefore, the clouds float in the atmosphere because of their low density.
  • The objects which have less density experience high buoyancy force.
