Solution

The correct option is B Evaporate cooling
Evaporation involves conversion of liquid to vapor which happens when latent heat is absorbed by the liquid.
During sweating, human body is cooled by evaporation of sweat molecules which takes place by absorbing latent heat of evaporation from our body.
