warm fronts cause extended periods of light precipitation, while cold fronts produce strong storms. cold fronts cause extended periods of light precipitation, while warm fronts produce strong storms. only cold fronts produce strong storms, while warm fronts cause sunny weather conditions. only warm fronts produce strong storms, while cold fronts cause sunny weather conditions.

Explanation:

To determine the correct statement, we recall meteorological knowledge: Warm fronts move slowly, leading to extended light precipitation (like drizzle over a long period). Cold fronts move quickly, causing strong, short - lived storms (due to rapid lifting of warm air).

• The second option swaps the effects of warm and cold fronts, so it's wrong.
• The third option says warm fronts cause sunny weather, but warm fronts are associated with precipitation, so it's wrong.
• The fourth option misattributes storm production to warm fronts and sunny weather to cold fronts, which is incorrect.
• The first option correctly states the effects of warm and cold fronts.

Answer:

Warm fronts cause extended periods of light precipitation, while cold fronts produce strong storms.
