    The answer is (b).Cumulus clouds form in a similar way in coastal regions also.In fact wherever land areas are adjacent to large water surfaces,these clouds can form particularly in summer afternoon.

    cumulus are not thunderstorm cells.. those are cumulonimbus. CBs.

    b - because the best source region where there is lift and moisture is the lake or ocean areas. Regular cumulus clouds can happen over land areas too and of course, where there is vegetation as well over water but again you need enough moisture and water areas are ideal.

    Lake surface in summer because there is the most precipitation at that time.
