Solution

The correct option is C evaporation
Evaporation is the change of a liquid into its vapour at all temperatures from its surface. During evaporation, molecules near the surface of the liquid acquire enough kinetic energy to overcome the attractive forces of other molecules and escape into the open space above the liquid.
