Solution

The correct option is A

evaporation


The physical process of converting a liquid to its gas is called evaporation or vaporization.

Sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase without going through the liquid phase.

Converting a gas or vapour to a liquid by cooling is called condensation.

Melting is defined as the physical process that converts a solid to a liquid.
