Explanation

The Present Indefinite Tense (also called Simple Present) uses the base form of the verb. In the sentence 'Rain drops ___________ from the clouds', we're describing a general, habitual truth about nature. The base form 'fall' is correct. Option B 'are falling' is Present Continuous tense. Option C 'have fallen' is Present Perfect tense. Option D 'were falling' is Past Continuous tense. The Present Indefinite is appropriate for describing natural phenomena that occur regularly.
