Solution

The correct option is D evaporation
An earthen pot (matka) has small pores in it. Water seeps through these pores and reaches the outer surface of the earthen pot. This water then evaporates by taking heat from earthen pot, thereby making it cooler.
Thus, option "D" is the correct answer.
