Solution

The correct option is B

Evaporation takes place at temperatures below the boiling point.


During evaporation, a liquid gets converted into its vapour form at temperatures below its boiling point. For example, clothes dry when water present in them evaporates and this occurs below boiling point of water.

Boiling is a bulk phenomenon which takes place throughout the liquid. In this, liquid is converted to its vapour form at its boiling temperature. For example, water boils at 100oC.
