Solution

The correct option is B condensation
Water is released into the atmosphere by various processes such as burning of fuels, transpiration by plants, etc. The water released is in the form of water vapours. As these water vapours rise to a certain height, it undergoes condensation to form clouds in the upper region of atmosphere.
