i have a few geography questions i need to check if my answers are right or not. 10 pts to the best answer.

A). frontal lifting
B). orographic lifiting
C). convectional lifting

in the air remains constant. In this case the relative humidity will ____________.
a. Decrease
b. Increase
c. Remain the same
3).For clouds to form air must be _________.

B). orographic lifiting
an air mass is forced from a low elevation to a higher elevation as it moves over rising terrain. As the air mass gains altitude it quickly cools down adiabatically, which can raise the relative humidity to 100% and create clouds and, under the right conditions, precipitation.
2 a. Decrease
Heating with no change in system pressure then the relative humidity of the system decreases because the saturated vapor pressure of water increases with increasing temperature.
3 a. Lifted
Lifting cools the air at some point its dew point is reached, (the temperature at which the air becomes saturated) and clouds form.
4). b Seasonal rainfall with several months of very high rainfall
5). It is d all of the above
