Solution

The correct option is D precipitation
Water evaporates from water bodies on the Earth. The water vapour formed rises high in the atmosphere and forms clouds. Once the clouds become too heavy, all the water present in the clouds is shed. The water can be released in different ways, like rain, snow, hail among others, depending on the environmental factors. Water released from clouds in the form of rain, snow, or hail is called precipitation
