Solution

The correct option is B decreases
The temperature of a liquid is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of all the molecules present in the liquid.
When molecules with high kinetic energy escape the liquid surface, the average of kinetic energy of the remaining molecules in the liquid decreases.
Since temperature of a liquid depends on the average kinetic energy of the molecules present in it, the temperature of the liquid also decreases.
