Solution

The correct option is C Imbibition
Swelling of wooden doors during rains is caused by the process of imbibition. The process of adsorption of water by solid particles of a substance without forming a solution is called imbibition. The water potential gradient between the absorbent (wooden frame) and the liquid imbibed (water) is essential for imbibition.
So, the correct answer is option B.
