Answer 
Option 1) Occluded front

Key PointsAir Mass:

  • Air mass is a volume of air defined by its temperature and water vapor content.
  • The boundary between the two air masses is called the front.
  • When warm air mass moves over cold air mass create a warm front and when cold air mass moves over warm air mass, that situation creates a cold front.

 

Occluded font:

  • An occluded front is a front that is formed when a cold front overtakes a warm front.
  • The cold front moves rapidly than the warm front.
  • Ultimately, the cold front overtakes the warm front and completely displaces the warm air at the ground.
