Answer:

Option C, An occluded front

Step-by-step explanation:

When ever a warm front is over took by a cold front, an occluded front results.

There are two type of occluded front

a) Cold Occluded front

b) Warm Occluded front

when a cold air lying in front of the occlusion is colder than the air lying behind the occlusion , then the less dense air slips below the more dense air and this is known as cold Occluded font

However , when a cold air lying in front of the occlusion is warmer than the air lying behind the occlusion , then the more dense air rides over the less dense air and this is known as warm Occluded front
