BEvaporation happens only in cold places
CEvaporation happens without any energy

Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Evaporation happens at any temperature
1. Boiling starts only once a liquid reaches one particular temperature.
2. Evaporation goes on at all temperatures, which is why wet clothes dry in the shade.
3. Evaporation also happens only at the surface, while boiling happens right through.
