Answer: Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Water cycle is defined as the movement of the water from the land to the air, to the atmosphere and then back to the land in different forms like rain, snow and so on.

When the water evaporates from the lakes, river, ponds and so on with the heat of the sun, it goes up in the air in the form of vapors. Then in the air it cools down, condenses and then form clouds. Then it pours down back on the land in the form of rain, snow.
