Which condition out of the following will increase the evaporation of water? (a) Increase in temperature of water (b) Decrease in temperature of water (c) Less exposed surface area of water (d) Adding common salt to water

(a) Increase in temperature of water. Evaporation increases with temperature because higher thermal energy allows more water molecules to escape into the air. Increased kinetic energy breaks intermolecular forces, leading to faster evaporation. Other factors, like reduced surface area or adding salt, decrease evaporation.
