I believe that it should be water evaporation

Answer:

The correct answer is: evaporation.

Explanation:

Hi!

Let's solve this!


Let's analyze each of the options:


melting: melts when it goes from solid to liquid.


Sublimation: it is the change of state from solid to gaseous directly.


condensation: it is the change of state of gas to liquid.


evaporation: it is the change of state that passes from liquid to gaseous.


In this case, we conclude that the water passed from liquid to gas state, so the process is evaporation.
