D

Explanation:

Evapotranspiration is an important component of the water cycle. This process is the main user of solar energy on the earth's surface. This energy is called latent heat flux. Evapotranspiration is responsible for 15% of the atmospheric water vapor. Factors affecting evapotransiration include:

The availability of energy Humidity away from the surface gradient Wind speed above the surface Availability of water Physical characteristics of vegetation Soil attributes
