Answer:

i think A

Step-by-step explanation:

Funnel clouds are caused by vertical stretching of vorticity. Vorticity can be thought of as "spin" in the atmosphere, which is usually produced by wind shear. As this vorticity is streched vertically the area of rotation shrinks and the spinning air speeds up.
