The correct answer is option D. Barometer readings will increase, and thermometer readings will decrease.

The barometers are the devices, which are used for the measurement of the pressure and the thermometer is a device, which is used for the measurement of the temperature. During snowstorm, the temperate is decreased and the pressure is high. So, the reading on the thermometer would decreased, and the reading on the barometer would be increased.
