Solution

The correct option is A

a reversible


Explanation for correct option -

Option (a),

  • A change that can be reversed (returned to its original form) by reversing the conditions is called a reversible change.
  • So, when water is evaporated it's getting back to water through the process of the water cycle.

Explanation for incorrect option -

Option (b), Evaporation of water is not an irreversible change as water molecules are changing their physical state only from liquid to gas.

Therefore, Option (a) is the correct answer.
