explanation: well maritime tropical air masses formed on ocean and near tropical so they are warm and full of moisture however when they move towards US from SE side they encounter cool air on surface of US which do not let them(mT) to make contact with surface and his mt will rise and we get unstable conditions and lots of rain.

b: stable

mt and surface air of US both are warm so mt air easily fall down and we get clear weather and stable conditions

c : stable

the cp is consists of cool air while air above the pacific is warm so the air of cp fall down due to high density and we get stable conditions.
