evaporation
A
the process by which plants release water vapor into the air through stomata; also the release of water vapor into the air by other organisms
B
the change of state from a gas to a liquid
C
at constant pressure and water vapor content, the temperature at which the rate of condensation equals the rate of evaporation
D
the change of state from a liquid to a gas that usually occurs at the surface of a liquid over a wide range of temperatures
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Evaporation happens when a liquid turns into a gas. It can be easily visualized when rain puddles “disappear” on a hot day or when wet clothes dry in the sun. In these examples, the liquid water is not actually vanishing-it is evaporating into a gas, called water vapor. Evaporation happens on a global scale.

Detailed explanation-2: -Evaporation happens when a liquid substance becomes a gas. When water is heated, it evaporates. The molecules move and vibrate so quickly that they escape into the atmosphere as molecules of water vapor. Evaporation is a very important part of the water cycle.

Detailed explanation-3: -Boiling and Evaporation: Evaporation is the change of a substance from a liquid to a gas. Boiling is the change of a liquid to a vapor, or gas, throughout the liquid.

Detailed explanation-4: -Condensation is the change of state from a gas to a liquid.
