The correct answer is: **B. They scatter sunlight, causing cooling.**
Volcanic ash particles can reflect and scatter sunlight away from the Earth's surface, which can lead to a cooling effect in the atmosphere. This phenomenon can have significant impacts on climate, particularly following large volcanic eruptions.
