A sample of water in a beaker is at a temperature T. The surface area of the water is A and an electric fan blows air across the top of the beaker at a speed v. For which values of T, A and v does the water evaporate the most rapidly?

AT/°C: 18, A/cm²: 45, v/m/s: 0.1
BT/°C: 24, A/cm²: 50, v/m/s: 1.9
CT/°C: 38, A/cm²: 70, v/m/s: 5.0
DT/°C: 38, A/cm²: 45, v/m/s: 4.7

✓ Correct answer

C: T/°C: 38, A/cm²: 70, v/m/s: 5.0
