B)sensible heat
C)net radiation
D)insolation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Latent heat is the heat that is absorbed and stored in a gas or liquid during the processes of evaporation, melting, or sublimation. It is called latent heat because it is not apparent or detectable from temperature changes. On the other hand, sensible heat is the heat that can be detected by temperature changes. Net radiation and insolation are not related to the specific heat storage process described in the question.
