The answer would be hail because it can grow larger and larger before it hits the ground and cause tremendous damage to crops, buildings, and vehicles.

In what places is hail most likely to form?
Hail is most likely to form in frozen tundra's and in places that have a big amount of precipitation (rain) for example, if there's a storm with a LOT of rain and the temperature is currently below freezing (33F) then hail is most likely to form there. if the temperature is a negative number like -15F then hail will become bigger and it can have a chance of destroying something
What is it called when water falls back into the earth as rain or snow?
The official meteorological term is precipitation.According to the US Geological Survey, a sub-organization of the US Department of the Interior: "Precipitation is water released from clouds in the form of rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, or hail. It is the primary connection in the water cycle that provides for the delivery of atmospheric water to the Earth. Most precipitation falls as rain."

What type of precipitation would most likely to fall at 0C?
sleet
Where does freezing rain occur?
Freezing rain happens when there is a layer of warmer air above a layer of sub-freezing air. The moisture passes through the warmer layer either causing it to become liquid or keeping it in liquid form. When it hits the sub-freezing level, if the layer of cold air is very thick, it will fall as sleet or snow. If it is very shallow, it will just fall as rain. But, if the layer is just think enough, the rain will pass through, be supercooled, and freeze on contact with most any surface.
What are the four kinds of precipitation?
There is rain, sleet, snow, and hail (most common is rain). :-D Why stop at 4? You want all 13? Here are the classics: Rain, Sleet, Snow, Hail, and Mixed. If you need the ones only a Meteorologis would love, then you have Snow Pellets, Snow Grains, Drizzle, Freezing Drizzle, Freezing Rain, Freezing Fog, Ice Crystals and good ol' Graupel!

What causes rain to become sleet?
Ice pellets (sleet) frequently occurs mixed in with freezing rain, and is made of frozen raindrops. Sleet forms in advance of a warm front in the wintertime in a narrow band, usually sandwiched between an area of snow and an area of rain or freezing rain associated with an extratropical cyclone. Rain being produced in a warm layer aloft falls into a cold air layer below. If the cold layer is deep enough, then the raindrops freeze. If the cold layer is very dry, sleet will more readily form due to evaporative cooling.
