Solution

The correct option is B

Evaporation


Evaporation is the process that turns the liquid (water) in the clothes into a vapour (gas). Therefore, evaporation is the process by which wet clothes dries up. In the case of wet clothes, a small fraction of liquid particles at the surface, having higher kinetic energy, is able to break away from the forces of attraction of other particles and gets converted into vapour
