Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Evaporation is a process in which liquid phase of a substance changes into vapor or gaseous phase.
In a liquid, molecules are less tightly held together as compared to solids. Therefore, molecules of a liquid are able to slide past each other. But when a liquid is heated at a high temperature then molecules gain more kinetic energy.
As a result, number of collision increases between the molecules and hence they start to evaporate from the liquid.
Thus, we can conclude that the statement a liquid evaporates faster at higher temperatures because more particles have a higher speed and can overcome attractions in the liquid, best explains the relationship between evaporation and temperature.
