Solution

The correct option is B

The inner walls of the bell jar get accumulated with drops of moisture.


After an hour or two, it is observed that the inner wall or inner surface of the bell jar is bedewed with moisture.The plant kept inside the bell jar gets rid of the excess of water in the form of vapour through the leaves. This gradually saturates the air inside the bell jar and when the vapour comes in contact with the cool surface of the bell jar, it condenses on the inner surface of the bell jar appearing as tiny droplets.
