Which statement best describes the role of a cold surface in dew formation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The surface cools nearby air to dew point

Correct answer: A. A cold surface removes heat from the thin layer of air touching it. If that nearby air cools to its dew point, it becomes saturated: at that temperature, it cannot retain all its water vapour as invisible gas under the existing conditions. Some vapour therefore condenses into liquid droplets on the surface, producing dew. B is wrong because water vapour is not destroyed; it changes state into liquid water. C is wrong because dew formation does not require clouds to be pulled downward. D is physically impossible in this context because surface cooling does not make atmospheric pressure zero. The key idea is contact cooling: a cold surface cools nearby moist air until condensation begins.
