Solution

The correct option is A Imbibition
Imbibition is a physical process of adsorption of water by the solid and dry surface. During rainy season wooden furniture and frames of door and windows adsorb water due to high atmospheric humidity and misaligned. Hence, all wooden furnitures should be covered with a coat of paint to prevent imbibition during the rainy season.
