Answer
A
warmer, humid conditions with possible storms
B
fog and freezing rain
C
a decrease in temperature with some cloud cover
D
drier air and decreasing humidity

Tropical air masses are warm and usually humid, while polar air masses are cold. When tropical air replaces polar air, temperatures and humidity are likely to rise, and the moist, unstable air can bring storms. So the most likely change is warmer, humid conditions with possible storms.
