Difference between rain ice and rime ice

I thought the answer to the below could be a) or b). Can anyone explain the difference between rime ice and rain ice please?

Upon landing after a flight through light rain above the freezing level, you discover some ice on the surfaces of your aircraft. The ice is cloudy and brittle. Which form of ice is this?
a) Rime ice
b) Rain ice
c) Hoar frost
d) Clear ice
