The given question is incomplete as the options are missing. The options are as follows-

A.jet streams collecting moisture

B.warm, moist air rising and cooling

C.cool, wet air sinking and then falling as rain

D.polar cells transporting water vapor from ice at the poles

Answer:

Option (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the region of low pressure, the hot and less dense air rises up forming convection cells. As this hot moisture containing air moves towards the upper atmosphere, it cools due to the lowering of the temperature. This results in the condensation process forming clouds. This later forms rainfall and when the rain falls on the ground, it does not fall straight, rather it falls at an angle in bands on the surface of the earth, and this is because of the wind that blows during the time of rainfall.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

First, the water on earth evaporate due to sun's heat and formed cloud. Later on, this water condensed and fall again on the earth. Completing the water cycle
