Answer:

The answer is b. much precipitation

Step-by-step explanation:

A front is a strip in which two air masses of different temperatures are separated. An occluded front occurs when a cold front that generally moves more quickly reaches a hot front and merges. The cold air mass, being heavier, stays below, forcing the warmer to rise. When this happens it cools and condenses, causing heavy precipitation.

The occluded fronts cause weak and continuous rains at first with stratiform-type clouds, and later the rains intensify with the arrival of vertically developing clouds, which cause storms.
