A. To make food

Explanation
Plants need water to make food through a process called photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants use water, along with sunlight and carbon dioxide, to produce glucose, which is their source of energy. Water is essential for the plants to carry out this process and convert sunlight into chemical energy. Additionally, water helps in the transportation of nutrients and minerals from the soil to different parts of the plant. It also aids in maintaining the turgidity of plant cells, which is important for their structure and growth.

The correct answer is evaporation, condensation, precipitation. This is the correct sequence of events in the water cycle. Evaporation occurs when water changes from liquid to vapor and rises into the atmosphere. Condensation happens when the water vapor cools and forms clouds. Finally, precipitation occurs when the water droplets in the clouds become heavy and fall to the ground as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. This process is essential for the continuous circulation of water on Earth.
