{'cloud burst': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'cloudy weather': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'thunderstorm': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'artificial rain': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'cloud': [1, 0, 0, 4], 'rain': [7, 1, 2, 16], 'sky': [2, 1, 7, 11], 'heavy downpour': [1, 0, 0, 3], 'crop': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'seeds': [3, 0, 2, 2], 'sowing': [2, 0, 0, 2]}
The correct answer is option 2: "Abnormally heavy downpour of rain, associated with thunderstorm." A cloud burst is a meteorological phenomenon characterized by an intense and excessive amount of rain falling in a short period of time. This heavy rain is often accompanied by thunder and lightning. It is not a formation of artificial rain (option 1) because it occurs naturally in the atmosphere. Option 3, the presence of scattered flakes of cloud in the sky, does not accurately describe a cloud burst. Option 4, sowing of seeds of a crop in a cloudy weather, is unrelated to cloud burst. Therefore, option 2 is the most accurate and appropriate description of a cloud burst.
