Solution
The correct option is B Water cycle
The water cycle refers to the continuous cycle of water as it evaporates from the surface of the earth, rises into the atmosphere, cools and condenses into rain or snow in clouds, and falls again to the surface as precipitation. This water then collects in rivers and lakes, soil, etc. and flows back into the oceans. From there, it evaporates again to reach the atmosphere.
