B.
no flash flooding will occur.
C.
the zone of possible flash flooding will also move toward the southeast.

Answer 1

If the cold front continues to move toward the southeast, the correct answer is:

C. the zone of possible flash flooding will also move toward the southeast.

Cold fronts typically bring precipitation along with them, so as the front progresses, the associated weather patterns, including any zones of flash flooding, would generally shift in the same direction as the front.
