Solution

The correct option is B Condensation
A glass containing ice-cold water is observed to have water droplets on its outer surface because of condensation.
When the water vapours in the atmosphere come in contact with a cold surface (ice-cold water glass), they lose energy and get converted to liquid. The conversion of a gas into its liquid state is known as condensation.
