• C) The conductive stream moves earthward in 50-metre jumps as a stepped leader;as the stepped leader nears the ground,the electric field at the surface increases greatly,shooting streamers of positive sparks upward and connecting with the stepped leader about 50 metres above ground.
• D) The connection initiates the return stroke,sending positive charges up to the cloud with a brilliant flash;more lightning strokes occur as charges flow between the cloud and the earth.
• E) All of these are correct.
