The Foehn (Chinook) effect produces:

Snow on both sides

Cold, wet wind on the lee side

Fog on the windward side

Warm, dry wind on the lee side of mountains

Correct

Explanation

Air forced over mountains cools at the SALR on the windward side (losing moisture), then descends and warms at the DALR on the leeward side, producing warm, dry Foehn winds.
