    The sprinkling of water reduces slightly the temperature of a closed room because:

    A)  temperature of water is less than that of the room

    B)  specific heat of water is high

    C)  water has large latent heat of vaporization

    D)  water is a bad conductor of heat

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The latent heat of vaporisation of water is large, so when water is sprinkled over a large area, evaporation takes place, thus, causes cooling.
