C Correct answer
Explanation

This is the right answer. First evaporation occurs when the sun heats up water in rivers or lakes or the oceans and turns it into vapours of steam. Then these water vapours present in air get cold and change into liquid, forming clouds. This is called condensation. After condensation, precipitation occurs when clouds get heavy and water falls back to the earth in form of rain, hail, sleet or snow.
