Which property of Rossby waves explains downstream development?
Answer: D
Because energy travels at the group velocity, which can be substantially faster and in the opposite sense to the phase, a disturbance in one place seeds development well downstream within a day or two. Westward phase propagation is real but is not what carries the energy. Rossby waves are strongly dispersive, which is precisely why the two velocities differ.
