The process by which wet clothes dry up is called:A) EvaporationB) BoilingC) CondensationD) Solidification

The correct answer is A) Evaporation.

Explanation:
When wet clothes dry up, the water present in them changes from a liquid state to a gaseous state. This process of liquid turning into vapor is known as evaporation.

Here’s a breakdown of the options:

A) Evaporation: This is the process where liquid water absorbs heat and changes into water vapor, which happens at any temperature below the boiling point of water. When clothes are hung out to dry, the heat from the sun or the air causes the water in the fabric to evaporate, leaving the clothes dry.

B) Boiling: This is the rapid vaporization of a liquid, occurring at a specific temperature (the boiling point). It is not the process happening when clothes are drying, as it requires a significant amount of heat.

C) Condensation: This is the opposite of evaporation. It refers to the process where vapor turns back into liquid when it cools down, which does not apply to drying clothes.

D) Solidification: This is the process of turning from a liquid to a solid, which is also not relevant to drying clothes.
