Solution
The correct option is B Evaporation The
process of changing of water from the liquid state to the gaseous state is
called evaporation. It occurs every day in natural and man-made environments.
It occurs most often around the areas which are situated near water bodies. It
is the most important process in case of water cycle because the water from
water bodies goes into atmosphere through the process of evaporation. The rate
of evaporation increases with the increase in the temperature.
