Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Choices C (spread out in a thin sheet), D (surrounded by dry air), and E (preheated to 100 degrees C) all describe conditions that increase the rate of water evaporation. Spreading water out increases its surface area, dry air enhances evaporation by reducing humidity around the water, and preheating water increases its temperature, making it evaporate more quickly.
