Right.
Dry Air!
The correct answer is C. dry air.
To determine the correct answer, you can evaluate each option and eliminate the ones that are generally associated with a thunderstorm.
A. Tornado: Tornadoes are often associated with severe thunderstorms as they can form within the storm's rotating updraft. Therefore, tornadoes are generally associated with thunderstorms.
B. Lightning: Lightning is a common occurrence during thunderstorms, as it is a result of the electrical charges that build up within the storm clouds. Thus, lightning is generally associated with thunderstorms.
C. Dry air: Thunderstorms are characterized by moist and unstable air, as the moisture is necessary for the formation of towering cumulonimbus clouds and subsequent thunderstorm development. Therefore, dry air is not generally associated with thunderstorms.
Based on this analysis, the correct answer is C. dry air.
