Solution

The correct option is B

Decrease, increase

Evaporation of liquid is usually enhanced through the use of heat and the movement of air over the wet region. If the temperature of air is increased, it can absorb more liquid and, therefore, the relative humidity in surrounding is decreased. Lower relative humidity promotes faster drying.
