Best answer
Right choice is (a) water vaporization

The best I can explain: In thermogravimetric analysis, the moisture is determined by the loss of mass of a substance (normally moisture) when heated. This can be achieved by the water vaporization process. It is a complete, precise and approachable method to determine moisture.
