Solution

The correct option is A Drying up of clothes kept near heater.
Steam rising from wet clothes while they are ironed is due to the evaporation of water. It happens because liquid water in the wet cloth converts to water vapor when heat is provided. It also explains the drying up of clothes kept near the heater.

Fog is formed during the winter morning due to condensation of water. Condensation also causes water droplets to be formed on the outer surface of cold water glass.

Freezing up of water happens in very cold conditions. It causes the freezing up of lakes.
