B
condensation
C
sublimation
D
precipitation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -vaporization, conversion of a substance from the liquid or solid phase into the gaseous (vapour) phase. If conditions allow the formation of vapour bubbles within a liquid, the vaporization process is called boiling.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vaporization is the process of converting a liquid into a gas. It is also called evaporation.

Detailed explanation-3: -The correct option is D evaporation. The process of changing of water from the liquid state to the gaseous state is called evaporation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Evaporation is nothing but a type of vaporisation which mostly occurs at temperatures below the boiling point. Vaporisation can change the state of matter from a solid or liquid to a gas. During evaporation, the liquid state of matter is turned directly into a gas.

Detailed explanation-5: -Vaporization is the passage from the liquid state to the gas (vapor) state and it requires heat (energy) to take place.
