Solution

The correct option is A Evaporation increases with increase in wind speed.
Evaporation increases with increase in wind speed. With the increase in wind speed, the particles of water vapour move away with the wind, decreasing the amount of water vapour in the surrounding. Hence, clothes dry faster on a windy day.
