Solution

The correct option is C vapour pressure
The pressure exerted by vapour in thermodynamic equilibrium with solid or liquid is called vapour pressure. A solid or liquid is always in equilibrium with its vapour.

The equilibrium vapour pressure is an indication of a liquid's evaporation rate.

Hence, option $C$ is correct.
