Solution

The correct option is B Temperature
As the temperature of the air increases its capacity to hold moisture increases while with the decrease in the temperature of the air, its capacity to hold moisture decreases. Thus the capacity of the atmospheric air to contain water vapor is directly proportional to its temperature. Hence option B is correct.
