• C. evaporation
• D. liquifaction

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

In the case of liquids, a small fraction of particles at the surface, having higher kinetic energy, can break away from the forces of attraction of other particles and gets converted into vapour. The conversion of a liquid into vapours at any temperature below its boiling point is called evaporation.
