This question was posed to me during an online exam.

I'd like to ask this question from Dampness in division Damp Proofing, Water Proofing and Termite Proofing of Construction & Building Materials

Answer 1

Correct option is (b) Condensation

Easiest explanation: The process of condensation takes place when the warm humid air is cooled. This is due to the fact that cool air can contain less invisible water vapours than warm air. The moisture is a deposit on the walls, floor and ceiling. This is the main source causing dampness in badly design kitchens.
