Answer:

A: Runoff.

Reason: The other answers make no sense. precipitation: any liquid or frozen water that forms in the atmosphere and falls back to the earth. evaporation: the process of turning from a liquid into vapor. And transpiration: (of a plant or leaf) the exhalation of water vapor through the stomata.
