What icing condition may occur when there is no visible moisture present?

  1. Rime ice

  2. Glaze ice

  3. Carburetor ice

  4. Mixed ice

The correct answer is: Carburetor ice

When there is no visible moisture present, the only possible type of icing that can occur is carburetor ice. Rime ice and mixed ice both form when visible moisture is present and glaze ice is formed when supercooled water droplets strike an aircraft. Therefore, carburetor ice is the only option that is possible in this scenario while the others are not.
