Task: Class Definition Understanding (ontology: Earth_Environment/SWEET)

Which of the following definitions best describes 'convective inhibition'?

A. The energy required to extract water from a porous medium to overcome the capillary and adsorptive forces.
B. The energy needed to lift an air parcel vertically and pseudoadiabatically from its originating level to its level of free convection (LFC).
C. A form of energy arising from the motion of a system against a force, existing only in the process of energy conversion.
D. Infrequently, any energy propagated by a physical quantity governed by a wave equation.

Answer: The energy needed to lift an air parcel vertically and pseudoadiabatically from its originating level to its level of free convection (LFC).
