Answer:

A. The air becomes saturated with water vapor

Step-by-step explanation:

Condensation happens one of two ways: Either the air is cooled to its dew point or it becomes so saturated with water vapor that it cannot hold any more water. Dew point is the temperature at which condensation happens.
