(C) It starts as rain and freezes in the air

Explanation:

 The snow is basically form in the clouds below the freezing point temperature. When the snow start falling from the atmosphere then the air remain colder at temperature 32° F. The surface of the cloud must remain frozen when the snowflakes are reaching on the surface of the earth.

On the other hand, sleet is known as the melted snow rain and it get freezes into the ice pellets before reaching or hitting to the surface of the ground. Therefore, the sleet is differ from the snow as it starts in the form of rain and then freezes in atmosphere.
