Answer

In order to answer this question correctly, we need to be able to decipher between the different clouds in the answer choices:

Altostratus clouds are found in the mid-level of the sky and made of ice crystals and water. Stratus clouds are typically gray and usually cover the entire sky.

Stratus clouds are low in the sky and look similar to fog that doesn't touch the ground, but does cover the entire sky.

Cumulus clouds are white, puffy clouds. They resemble cotton balls in the sky.

Cirrus clouds are high in the sky and made of ice. These clouds look very thin and wispy.

The correct answer is cirrus clouds.
