D Correct answer
Explanation

A falling barometer indicates decreasing atmospheric pressure, which typically signals approaching rain or stormy weather. Low pressure systems are associated with cloud formation and precipitation. High pressure (rising barometer) usually brings fair weather. Snow (A) requires cold plus low pressure, but the pressure drop alone predicts rain/storm conditions.
