Answer:

D) Tornado

Step-by-step explanation:

Tornadoes are rapidly rotating columns of air that reach down from thunderstorms to the ground. They occur when funnel clouds (made of water droplets, dust, and debris) touch the ground. Tornadoes produce violent winds up to 500 kilometers per hour (300 miles per hour) and can last up to 15 minutes. If a tornado occurs over a lake or ocean, it produces a water spout.
