CorrectNot quiteAnswer A
Correct answer: A

Warm, moist air rises and cools as it goes up.
Cooled vapour condenses on tiny dust particles into droplets, which gather as clouds and fall as rain: precipitation.
Worth noting
Evaporation and transpiration put vapour into the air; condensation turns it back into liquid.
