Solution
The correct option is C evaporation Evaporation is a process by which molecules undergo a spontaneous transition from the liquid phase to the gaseous phase.
Freezing is a phase transition where a liquid turns into a solid.
Sublimation is the conversion between the solid and the gaseous phases of matter, with no intermediate liquid stage.
Condensation is the reverse of evaporation in which water vapour converts into liquid water.
