The answer is most likely the first one beacuse 1) starts as a supercooled water droplet in a thunderstorm cloud. The water freezes on a small ice pellets of snow forming a hail embryo 2) hail embryo gets caught in strong updrafts and is carried aloft many times over 3) embryo grows rapidly until it finally falls as a ball of ice or a hailstone (got this from quizlet.com)
