Explanation:

The paragraph mainly discusses that weather reporters need to give information quickly and accurately, and pictures help them do this. Option c directly states that pictures help weather reporters get information out fast, which aligns with the main idea. Option a is about knowing where it's raining (only part of the info), option b is about cold air (not the main focus), and option d is about reports needing to be short (also not the main idea).

Answer:

c) Pictures help weather reporters get information out in a fast way
