<h2>Answer: Option D</h2><h2 />

Option A, "a large swirling, low-pressure system that forms over the warm Atlantic Ocean"  is incorrect because tornadoes do not form over water. That would be a hurricane.

Option B, "a winter storm with wind speeds of at least 56 km/h and low visibility" Is incorrect because tornadoes do not form in cold weather. That would be a blizzard.

Oa boundary between two air masses of different density, moisture, or temperature​ption C, "a violently rotating column of air in contact with the ground" is correct <u>because tornadoes are columns of air that rotate due to warm air and cold air colliding.</u> They usually occur during a thunderstorm.

Option D, "a boundary between two air masses of different density, moisture, or temperature​" is incorrect because tornadoes are not based on air mass, density, moisture, or temperature. This would be a front.
