The correct answer is:
**D. The Sun's energy heats the ground, heating air at the surface and causing the air to rise.**
This option accurately describes the process of atmospheric convection, where the Sun's energy warms the Earth's surface, which in turn heats the air above it, causing that warm air to rise. As the warm air rises, cooler air moves in to replace it, creating a convection current.
