Explanation
$$\textbf{Correct answer: B}$$
$$\textbf{Option (B):}$$
$$\bullet$$ At first the solar energy results in evaporation from the ocean. Evaporation of water from the sea occurs in the form of water vapour.
$$\bullet$$ As the water vapour rises up in the air it cools down and falls as precipitation. This is because colder air is denser than warmer air.
$$\bullet$$ Precipitation exceeds the evaporation and transpiration over land.
$$\bullet$$ Few of the water coming from precipitation moves back to the ocean in the form of runoff.
$$\bullet$$ Some of the water percolates into groundwater, balancing the net flow of water vapour into the land ecosystem.
$$\bullet$$ In the ocean, evaporation is higher than precipitation. This excess water vapour needs to be moved to the land region by the wind.
Therefore the given sequence will be $$\textbf{B>D>A>C }$$ .
Hence, the correct answer is option (B).
