The capacity of the atmospheric air to retain water as vapour depends fundamentally upon
A
Its temperature
B
The velocity of the winds
C
Its pressure
D
Its density
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Increases as the temperature increases, The water-vapor content of the atmosphere varies from place to place and from time to time because the moisture-holding capacity of air is determined by temperature. At 30 °C (86 °F), for example, a volume of air can contain up to 4 percent water vapour.

Detailed explanation-2: -If you reduce the amount of water vapor present in the air, you reduce the dew point temperature (the point at which the air is saturated); if you add water vapor to the air, you increase the dew point temperature.

Detailed explanation-3: -The moisture-holding capacity of the air depends on its temperature. Higher the temperature, higher is the holding capacity. As we go higher in the sky, the air becomes cooler. So, as per this rule, as we go higher, the vapour holding capacity ofthe air will decrease.

Detailed explanation-4: -The capacity of the air to hold water vapour increases as the temperature increases.
