The interaction between a cold air mass overtaking a warm air mass typically leads to the formation of a low pressure system. Therefore, the correct answer is:
**C. a low pressure system**
Low pressure systems are associated with rising air, which can lead to cloud formation and precipitation, including severe thunderstorms.
**C. a low pressure system**
Low pressure systems are associated with rising air, which can lead to cloud formation and precipitation, including severe thunderstorms.
