  • A

  • B
    Increases with increasing pressure
  • C
    Is not affected by pressure
  • ✓
    Decreases with increasing pressure
✓

Answer

Correct option: D.
Decreases with increasing pressure
Evaporation is a type of vaporization of a liquid that occurs from the surface of a liquid into a gaseous phase that is not saturated with the evaporating substance.
The rate of evaporation can also increase with a decrease in the gas pressure around a liquid. Molecules like to move from areas of higher pressure to lower pressure.
The molecules are basically sucked into the surrounding area to even out the pressure.
Once the vapor pressure of the system reaches a specific level, the rate of evaporation will slow down.
