Solution

The correct option is D A state in which the liquid and gas phases are in equilibrium
Evaporation is the process of conversion from a liquid state to gaseous state.
Condensation is the process of conversion from the gaseous state to a liquid state. If a rate of the evaporation rate of condensation
$\Rightarrow$ Liquid & gas phases are in equilibrium.
This is the condition for physical equilibrium.
