Solution

The correct option is D

all the above


The explanation for the correct option:

(D)-All the above

(A) Evaporation of water occurs from rivers, oceans, steam, and lakes

At the air-sea interface, water molecules change phase from liquid to vapour, resulting in oceanic evaporation. The available heat energy, the difference in humidity between the air and the surface, and the wind speed all influence the rate at which this process happens.

(B) Water vapour is given out by plants through their leaves.

Transpiration is the loss of water from plants' leaves while their stomata are open to allow CO2and O2 to pass through during photosynthesis.

(C) Water vapour is given out by animals when their sweat evaporates

When sweat droplets evaporate from an animal's skin, they carry a small amount of the animal's body heat with them. They, like water evaporating from plant leaves, convert into water vapour and join the water cycle.

Final answer: The correct answer is an option (D)
