Solution

Evaporation is the conversion of a substance from the liquid phase to its gaseous form at the surface of the liquid. The rate of evaporation is increased by a number of factors such as a high surface area and wind. It happens below the boiling point of the liquid. At the boiling point, the liquid is said to boil or vaporize. Above the boiling point, there is no liquid left to vaporize.

So, the answer here is evaporation happens below the boiling point of the liquid.
