B Correct answer
Explanation

The hydrological cycle requires evaporation (liquid to gas) and condensation/precipitation (gas to liquid). Water vapor movement in the atmosphere completes the cycle by transporting evaporated water from oceans to land where it precipitates. River tides, sea flow, and groundwater movement are secondary processes, not essential cycle components.
