Solution

The correct option is C humidity
Humidity is the amount of water vapour present in the air. The air around us cannot hold more than a definite amount of water vapour at a given temperature. If the amount of water in the air is already high, the rate of evaporation decreases. Hence, it is indirectly proportional to humidity.
