To identify the participle in the sentence and its function, we need to first understand what a participle is.
A participle is a verb form that functions as an adjective. It usually ends in "-ing" (present participle) or "-ed" (past participle) and modifies a noun or pronoun in the sentence.
In the given sentence, the participle is "freezing." It is functioning as an adjective, describing the type of rain (freezing rain).
Therefore, the correct answer is:
D. freezing; adjective
