Answer: c

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, Evaporation from the oceans is the primary mechanism supporting the surface-to-atmosphere portion of the water cycle.

On a global scale, the amount of water evaporating is about the same as the amount of water delivered to the Earth as precipitation. This does vary geographically, though. Evaporation is more prevalent over the oceans than precipitation, while over the land, precipitation routinely exceeds evaporation
