B Correct answer
Explanation

Relative humidity is the ratio of actual water vapor to the maximum vapor the air can hold at that temperature. When temperature increases, the air's capacity to hold water vapor increases significantly. If moisture content stays the same, the ratio (relative humidity) decreases.
