Solution

The correct option is B False

Evaporation:-

  1. It is basically a term that is used to define the change in the phase of a liquid to a gas.
  2. This change in phase will occur only below the boiling point.
  3. So, the evaporation of water can also occur in the absence of light.
  4. As during the daytime, all the surrounding air gets heated and so this warm air will provide heat for the evaporation of water in the absence of the sunlight.
  5. Evaporation of water in shade is slower, as the sun’s heat increases the energy of water molecules, and they start moving faster, eventually leading to evaporation when the energy is enough to convert into a gas.

Final answer: The given statement is false.
