Answer 1

The answer is c i am almost positive

Answer 2

C) It provides the energy to evaporate water on Earth into the atmosphere

Step-by-step explanation:

The sun is the most major part of the energy in the water cycle. The water cycle is driven primarily by the energy from the sun. This solar energy drives the cycle by evaporating water from the oceans, lakes, rivers, and even the soil. Other water moves from plants to the atmosphere through the process of transpiration. Hope this helps my science teacher always told me the way to study is to know not only your answer but its explanation
