c. evaporation
d. freezing
*dont forget to answer the questions on screen 5

Explanation:

The scenario describes liquid water from a lake turning into water vapor when heated. This matches the definition of evaporation, which is the phase change of liquid water to gaseous water vapor due to increased temperature. Condensation is the reverse (vapor to liquid), precipitation is falling water like rain/snow, and freezing is liquid to solid.

Answer:

C. Evaporation
