A hailstone usually begins in a storm cloud when a droplet of supercooled water freezes onto a snowflake or a dust particle. As the tiny hailstone falls through the cloud, more droplets freeze onto it. Still, the hailstone stays rather small-unless the winds in the storm take control. A strong updraft can carry a hailstone high into the cloud again. When the hailstone falls a second time, it collects another layer of ice. This fall-rise-fall cycle repeats until the hailstone grows too heavy for the updraft to support it; then it falls to the ground. By the time hailstones fall, they can be quite large. The largest hailstone ever recovered in the United States had a circumference of almost 19 inches.

Which of the following is the main idea of this passage?

A. Storm clouds might contain strong updrafts.

B. Storm winds directly affect the size of hailstones.

C. Hailstones develop from tiny particles into chunks of ice during the fall-repeat-fall cycle.

D. The biggest hailstone found in the United States had a circumference of about 19 inches, but hailstones can also be tiny.
