Solution
The correct option is CStatement I is correct, but Statement II is incorrect. Option C is the correct answer.
Evaporation is an endothermic process. Because, evaporation requires heat. When heat is given into the system, evaporation from the system occurs.
When a substance cools down, it gives off heat in its surrounding. Thus, heat is not absorbed, rather heat is given out into the surrounding for the substance to cool.
