Solution

The correct options are
A Temperature
B wind speed
C Humdity
D Nature of liquid
With the increase of temperature, more number of particles get enough kinetic energy to go into the vapour state.
With the increase in wind speed, the particles of water vapour move away with the wind, decreasing the amount of water vapor in the surrounding. This decreases the humidity near the surface and therefore evaporation increases.
The air around us cannot hold more than a definite amount of water vapour at a given temperature. If the amount of water in air is already high, the rate of evaporation decreases.
Every liquid has different forces of attraction between their particles, so their rate of leaving the surface would also be different.
