a. evaporation, condensation, precipitation

b. condensation, evaporation, precipitation

c. precipitation , condensation, evaporation

d. evaporation, precipitation, condensation

i think its a im not sure

a. evaporation, condensation, precipitation.

Explanation:

The water will first get heated due to solar radiations. Heating of water will cause the water to evaporate. Due to evaporation process, water will get converted into water vapours. Water vapours are light  in weight and also have kinetic energy so they will rise above the water surface and reach the higher destinations in the atmosphere known as troposphere. When more water vapours get accumulated in the air as compared to what it can accomodate, it starts to change the state from vapour phase to liquid phase. This is known as condensation. It is responsible for formation of clouds. As soon as, more and more water vapours start to cool down to become water droplets, the cloud cannot bear the weight of water droplets anymore as a result of which water starts to fall as rain. This process is known as precipitation.

the way that the mass of carbon can be conserved through cellular respiration is through a process/law called the law of conservation of mass which even tho it undergoes a process, mass is not be destroyed or changed
