Solution

The correct option is A Rate of evaporation is decreased due to increased humidity.
Clothes dry when water evaporates from them. On a rainy day, there is a lot of water content (humidity) in air. With more humidity, the water intake capacity of air decreases. Thus, the rate of evaporation decreases and it takes longer for the clothes to dry out on a rainy day.
