B Correct answer
Explanation

Evaporation (B) is the correct answer - it is the process by which water changes from liquid to vapor, removing moisture from soil. Condensation (A) is the opposite process (gas to liquid). Precipitation (C) is water falling from atmosphere to ground. Transpiration (D) is water loss from plants, not directly from soil.
