The correct answer is:
C. Suspended particles provide a surface on which water droplets can form.
Tiny, suspended particles in the atmosphere, also known as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), play a crucial role in cloud formation by providing a surface for water vapor to condense upon, leading to the formation of cloud droplets.
