Solution

The correct option is A
Consecutive condensation and evaporation of water.

Warm air rises up taking water vapour with it. As it goes up, it loses heat and the amount of water vapour air can hold decreases. This causes condensation of water and clouds are formed in the form of suspended water droplets.
