Answer:

c) evaporation

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaporation is the process in which the sun heats surface water and causes it to change from its liquid state to its gaseous state. This occurs when water molecules gain enough energy from the sun's heat to break free from the liquid and turn into water vapor.
