Fog is best described in classification terms as

  • A.a genus distinct from all ten others
  • B.a variety of nimbostratus
  • C.a supplementary feature of stratocumulus
  • D.stratus in contact with the ground

Answer: D

Correct answer: stratus in contact with the ground

Fog is not a separate genus: it is stratus whose base has reached the surface, and the classification treats it as such. The definition is a matter of position rather than composition - the same cloud is fog to someone on a hilltop and stratus to someone in the valley below.
