The answer is c because during the water cycle the sun evaporates the water into the atmosphere, which then cools it down to form clouds, whuch then cause it to rain.

Answer:

The correct answer would be option C.

Temperature plays important role in a water cycle.

The increase in temperature of surface water causes the evaporation of water.

The water vapors rise up in the atmosphere. The temperature keeps on decreasing as they move up the atmosphere.

It causes the water vapors to condense which results in the formation of clouds.
