Answer : The correct option is B.

Explanation :

The temperature of the warm water is higher than the cold water. That means as the temperature of warm water increases, the kinetic energy of the warm water molecule also increases.

As the kinetic energy of the warm water molecule increases, the number of molecules conversion into a vapor also increases (i.e, quick evaporation), thereby increasing the vapor pressure of warm water.

Hence, the correct answer is, (B) Warm water evaporates more quickly.
