On what basis is the main difference between frost and dew understood?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: On the basis of the state of water

Direct answer: B, the state of water. Dew forms when water vapour condenses into liquid droplets on a cool surface. Frost forms when the surface is sufficiently cold and water is deposited or frozen as ice crystals. Therefore, the important distinction is whether the condensed water is liquid or solid. B is correct because it identifies this difference in physical state. A is not the main basis: both dew and frost commonly occur on exposed surfaces, although local conditions can vary. C is wrong because wind direction is not the defining distinction, even though calm air often favours surface deposition. D is wrong because sea salinity has no role in the basic difference between dew and frost. Memory cue: dew = liquid drops; frost = ice crystals. Temperature determines which state appears.
