Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Lightning is a giant spark. A single stroke of lightning can heat the air around it to 30,000 degrees Celsius This extreme heating causes the air to expand at an explosive rate. The expansion creates a shock wave that turns to a booming sound wave, better known as thunder.
  • Thunder & lightning occur at roughly the same time, although u see the flash of lightning before u hear the thunder. This is because light travels much faster than sound.
  • Lightning always follows the easiest path. Lightning strikes buildings or projecting objects such as trees, poles, wires or building than larger, flatter surfaces because the material in them provide easier paths to the ground than the other. The primary target of lightning are lone buildings.

Therefore, Thunder Follows The Easiest Part. And it is not (A) because Thunder Follows A Lightening Not Vice Versa.
