Which term refers to droplets produced by condensation?

• A. Dusts
• B. Vapors
• C. Aerosols
• D. Fogs

Answer: (D)

When water vapor loses enough energy to become liquid, it forms tiny liquid droplets. If those droplets remain suspended in the air right near the ground, the result is fog. So the droplets produced by condensation and seen as a visible mist close to the surface are fog droplets. Dusts are solid particles, vapors are gases, and aerosols is a broad term for suspended particles and droplets in air, but fog specifically refers to the liquid condensation droplets that create visible fog.
