Solution

The correct option is C Evaporation is nothing but boiling at the highest temperature of the liquid
Evaporization is the vaporization process of converting the liquid phase to vapour phase when surrounding temperature is more than liquid / water temperature.
It should not be confused with boiling as boiling means whole phase change from liquid to vapour at highest temperature.
