• B. Water in clothes evaporate.
• C. Water in clothes evaporates and condenses.
• D. Clothes doesn't dry up near heater.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Water in clothes evaporate.

Water from clothes get evaporated due to heat from the heater and so they dry up. This is not boiling as the temperature at which drying happens is less than ${100}^{\circ }$ (boiling point of water). Same happens when wet clothes are kept under sunlight but the process is much slower as heat from sunlight is less intense.
