    A

    Explanation:

    Of all the statement the incorrect statement is

    a. the stepped leader forms as positive charges leave cloud base searching for a path of least resistance to the ground.

    In the Negative Polarity lightning strike, the negative charges leave cloud base and search for a path of least resistance to the ground, and not the positive charges. That is why the above statement is incorrect about the negative polarity lightning strike.
