The converse of a conditional statement is formed by switching the hypothesis and conclusion. The original statement is "If it is snowing, then it must be cold." To form the converse, we switch the positions of "it is snowing" and "it must be cold." Therefore, the converse of this statement would be "If it is cold, then it must be snowing."
So, the correct answer is (a.) If it is cold, then it must be snowing.
