Which of the following best describes the term 'rainwater leaders'?

  1. A horizontal pipe for rainwater collection

  2. A type of gutter

  3. A vertical rainwater pipe often connected to a downspout

  4. A roof installation for directing rainwater

The correct answer is: A vertical rainwater pipe often connected to a downspout

The term 'rainwater leaders' specifically refers to a type of pipe that is used to redirect rainwater from a roof to a downspout. While options A, B, and D may all be involved in the collection and redirection of rainwater, they do not accurately describe the term 'rainwater leaders' as it is commonly used. Option A is too broad, option B is too specific, and option D does not mention the vertical aspect of the pipe. Therefore, option C is the best description for the term 'rainwater leaders'.
