Solution

The correct option is B evaporation
Evaporation is a surface phenomenon. The particles of liquid in the wet clothes are always in motion and are loosely packed. They have less force of attraction with each other. These water particles get heated up because of the sun's hot rays, gains enough energy to overcome the force of attraction and gets converted into water vapour by the process of evaporation.
