B Correct answer
Explanation

Water cycle refers to constant movement of water from ocean to land and back to ocean again.It happen when water changes from water vapor in the atmosphere to liquid water through condensation and precipitation and falls on land and via channels and river flows back to ocean and then back to water vapor through evaporation, transpiration, and respiration. 

so, the correct option is B. ( Constant movement of water from ocean to land and back to ocean again )
