Why does the evaporation of sweat effectively cool the body?
A) As sweat cools, the distance between water molecules increases, which further reduces the temperature.
B) Since evaporation requires energy to overcome cohesion, heat energy is removed from the body surface.
C) Water in sweat insulates the skin and absorbs heat from the body before evaporation.
D) Water absorbs heat from skin oils, which is removed from the body during evaporation.
E) Breaking the bonds holding water molecules together releases energy, which is absorbed by the solutes present in sweat.
