Which influence diminishes effectiveness of single-cell thunderstorm formation near mountain ranges?

A)Orographic lift causing rapid uplift
B)Stable atmospheric inversion aloft
C)Latent heat release inducing buoyancy
D)Surface heating fostering boundary mixing

💡 Explanation

When a stable atmospheric inversion exists above a developing single-cell thunderstorm, it inhibits vertical air movement because the temperature increases with height, preventing buoyant air parcels from rising, therefore weakening the storm development, rather than lift, heat release, or surface heating, which would instead each encourage storm formation.
