A liquid is cooled if

a. evaporation exceeds condensation.

b. condensation exceeds evaporation.

c. evaporation and condensation proceed at equal rates.

d. condensation occurs at twice the rate of evaporation

A liquid is cooled if condensation exceeds evaporation. The answer is letter B. This is because the cooling of the liquid decreases the kinetic energy of the molecules. Their movement is being restricted by the colder temperature. The molecules tend to be closer with each other. Also, because of their restricted movement, the liquid may turn into solid due the colder temperature. An example of this is the cooling of liquid water by placing it into the refrigerator into solid water (ice).
