Solution
The correct option is B
The process of conversion of a liquid to its vapour state on absorbing heat is called evaporation. When wet clothes are hung outside in sunlight, the water in them absorbs heat from the sun and gets evaporated. Factors that affect the rate of evaporation are:
∙ Temperature: Higher the temperature faster the rate of evaporation.
∙ Wind Speed: Higher the speed of wind more is the rate of evaporation.
∙ Surface area: Larger the surface area more is the the evaporation.
