What is Condensation?
A
A type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gas phase.
B
The moisture of the atmosphere falling visibly in separate drops.
C
Change of the physical state of matter from the gas phase into the liquid phase.
D
Flow of water occurring on the ground surface.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -What is Condensation? Condensation is the process through which the physical state of matter changes from the gaseous phase into the liquid phase. For example, condensation occurs when water vapour (gaseous form) in the air changes into liquid water when it comes in contact with a cooler surface.

Detailed explanation-2: -The process by which a substance changes from the gaseous phase to the liquid phase is known as condensation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Condensation: the conversion of water from a gas into a liquid. Condensation is the change of water from its gaseous form (water vapor) into liquid water. Condensation generally occurs in the atmosphere when warm air rises, cools and looses its capacity to hold water vapor.

Detailed explanation-4: -Condensation occurs when a substance goes from a gaseous to a liquid state, the reverse of vaporization. Critical Point – the point in temperature and pressure on a phase diagram where the liquid and gaseous phases of a substance merge together into a single phase.

Detailed explanation-5: -During physical change the state of a substance changes. Since during condensation the water vapours (gas) are converted to water (liquid), so, it is a physical change.
