A) condensation of 1 gram of water
B) evaporation of 1 gram of water
C) melting of 1 gram of water
D) freezing of 1 gram of water

When 1 gram of water condenses, it releases the most latent heat energy into the atmosphere. This is because latent heat energy is absorbed when water evaporates, and when it condenses back into water, it releases that same amount of energy. The amount of energy released during condensation is greater than the amount absorbed during evaporation, making condensation the process that releases the most latent heat energy into the atmosphere.
