The first thing to say is that there are two geographical features with the same name: the Rocky Mountain System and the Rocky Mountains (s.s.) that are part of it.The complete orographic system is something like a very varied sample of geological and tectonic processes.The system extends for more than 2982 miles, from Canada to the southern United States, (state of New Mexico). Its transverse extension varies between 68 and 300 miles, with the eastern edge being very close to Denver, and constituting a prominent feature within the central plains of the continent.The far west is not far from Salt Lake City, Utah, and is separated from the Sierra Nevada, Cascade, and Coastal chains-farther west-by the Great Basin and the Columbia River Plateau.The Rocky Mountains end before entering Alaska, not the System that contains them, which is also known to include the highest peaks in North America. In the United States, the highest height is recorded at Mount Elbert in Colorado, showing 4,401 m.s.n.m.Also in the Rocky Mountains is the watershed of the continent, which obviously separates the basins that drain towards the Pacific from those that drain towards the Atlantic.

Latent heat involves
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

the conversion of radiant energy into "hidden" form through the process of evaporation.

Explanation:

Latent heat is the heat which is stored in the molecular motion of  any substance when it changes its state, Like from solid to liquid, solid to gas or liquid to gas. It is also known as hidden heat.

Example: when water changes its state from water  to water vapor, water absorbs energy from the environment. This energy is stored in the molecular movement of water molecules.

On earth, latent heat is transferred when there is evaporation of water from moist land surface or any water body. This causes transfer of heat from earth surface to atmosphere.  

Bases on the above definition of latent heat option B is the correct one.
