Answer 2

Answer:

The percentage of world’s total precipitation, which is lost to the atmosphere through evaporation approximates to 57%

Explanation:

So the option (A) is correct. Though it is believed that the amount of evaporation is same as that of precipitation, evaporation over the oceans is more than that over the lands. As 70% of earth’s surface is covered with oceans, large amount of water received through precipitation is lost by evaporation.
