Explanation:

Waterspouts are powerful rotating columns of water and air. Birds and fish can be lifted up and trapped in them. When the waterspout weakens, the animals it has carried are dropped, which can give the appearance of "raining animals". Option A 's description about looking - like animals running is incorrect. Option C about thirsty animals following is not how "raining animals" occurs. Option D about animals hiding has no relation to "raining animals".

Answer:

B. Birds and fish can get trapped in a waterspout. When the waterspout gets weak, the animals drop.
