b
Condensation, build-up, runoff, precipitation, collection

c
Runoff, precipitation, evaporation, melting, condensation

d
Evaporation, condensation, precipitation, runoff, collection

Answer 1

Answer: D

Explanation:

Evaporation- liquid water (in the ocean, lakes, or rivers) evaporates and becomes water vapor.

Condensation- water vapor in the atmosphere condenses and becomes liquid.

Precipitation- any liquid or solid water (rain, snow, sleet, or hail) that falls to Earth as a result of condensation in the atmosphere.

Runoff- a variety of ways liquid water moves across land, such. as snow or glaciers melting.

Collection- water that falls from the clouds collects in the oceans, rivers, lakes, streams. (runoff and collection are kind of the same thing and usually I just see it called runoff)
