A Correct answer
Explanation

As a warm front passes, temperatures rise because the incoming air mass is warmer than the air it's replacing. This temperature increase is gradual and steady, reflecting the slow-moving nature of warm fronts compared to cold fronts. The warming typically occurs over several hours as the warm air mass advances and overtakes the cooler air in the region.
