A. Condensation
B. Precipitation
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!

Precipitation is rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls to the ground.

Precipitation occurs during the water cycle when the air can no longer hold water that has evaporated. The clouds get heavy and the evaporated water falls back to the Earth as precipitation.

Condensation occurs when the water vapor in the air becomes cold and changes back into a liquid. During the water cycle, clouds are formed due to condensation. It is also condensation when water droplets from the air form on the outside of a cold drink.
