C.
Sublimation
Answer
D.
Evaporation and condensation

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
Snow is formed by the process of Sublimation. We do not see the sublimation process because the snow goes directly into water vapor without first melting into liquid water. However, we do notice that the snow amount is decreasing, so snow sometimes seems to disappear on cold winter days. The rate of sublimation is a function of the weather conditions.
