C Correct answer
Explanation

Yes, before raining water vapour forms clouds. When the air cools, its molecules come closer together. Thus, molecules of water vapour in the air come closer and the molecules of water vapour condense on tiny solid particles in the atmosphere. The tiny droplets of water resulting from condensation form the clouds that we see in the sky.
