Option (D)

Explanation:

The process of evaporation refers to the changing state of water from liquid to gaseous (vapor) state.

In the given condition, a tea kettle is placed, where the water evaporates due to the increased amount of heat provided to it. This allows the water to evaporate into the atmosphere forming water vapor.

One of the cases that shows a similar changing state of water is the evaporation of the lake water due to the high absorption of solar energy, that releases water vapor into the atmosphere.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
