Solution

The correct option is B

bulk


Boiling is considered as a bulk phenomenon because all molecules are involved during boiling of any liquid. Whereas during evaporation, only surface molecules are involved, so, it is considered as a surface phenomenon.
Boiling does not alter atomic structure of the liquid so it is not an atomic phenomenon.
