Solution

The correct option is C precipitation
Water vapours after evaporation from the earth's surface reach the atmosphere. These vapours condense to form clouds. Once the cloud gets heavy, they fall on the surface of the earth as rain, snow, or hailstones. This process is known as precipitation.
