When water vapor turns to liquid, clinging to either dust particles or cold surfaces, that is
A
evaporation
B
condensation
C
transpiration
D
precipitation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Condensation is the process where water vapor becomes liquid. It is the reverse of evaporation, where liquid water becomes a vapor. Condensation happens one of two ways: Either the air is cooled to its dew point or it becomes so saturated with water vapor that it cannot hold any more water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Condensation is the process by which water vapor in the air changes into liquid water. There is always water vapor in the sky. After water vapor turns into liquid water, cloud droplets might form. This happens when the liquid water sticks to specks of dust, ice crystals, or even other liquid water droplets.

Detailed explanation-3: -Condensation is the process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water; it’s the opposite of evaporation. Condensation is crucial to the water cycle because it is responsible for the formation of clouds.

Detailed explanation-4: -When water particle condenses on air on dust, it forms mist. Mist is a phenomenon caused by small droplets of water suspended in air. It can occur as part of natural weather or volcanic activity, and is common in cold air above warmer water, in exhaled air in the cold, and in a steam room of a sauna.

Detailed explanation-5: -Particles of dust or smoke in the atmosphere are essential for precipitation. These particles, called “condensation nuclei, ” provide a surface for water vapor to condense upon. This helps water droplets gather together and become large enough to fall to the earth.
