    C

    Explanation:

    Cold fronts move faster than warm fronts, they can catch up to and overtake their related warm front. When they do, an occluded front is formed.

    Occluded fronts are signs of mature storm systems (i. e., those about to dissipate).

    The type of occlusion that is the most common normally occurs in North America is called a cold-front occlusion and it occurs when the cold front forces itself under the warm front.
