Explanation
C
In this Rules question, verbs are changing in the answer choices, so it's testing consistency with verbs. Find and highlight the subject, cloud, which is singular, so a singular verb is needed. Write an annotation saying "singular." Eliminate any answer that is not singular.

(C) is correct because it's singular.
