Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Condensed moisture deposits on any available surface, such as on the walls of a container or de-livery tubing, or even on particles suspended in the gas. Condensation returns heat to and warms the surrounding environment, whereas vaporization of water cools the adjacent air.
