Answer
A
They condense as solid water on grass.
B
They fall from the clouds as round pellets.
C
They form around particles in the atmosphere.
D
They form when temperatures are above freezing.

Explanation

Snowflakes form when water vapor freezes onto tiny particles, such as dust, in the atmosphere. They grow into ice crystals as more water vapor freezes onto them. Snowflakes do not condense on grass, fall as round pellets, or form when temperatures are above freezing.
