Given diagram shows diffusion of water vapor through air. Identify the correct statement

(a) The water evaporates and diffuses downward

(b) The water does not evaporates but diffuses upward

(c) The water evaporates and diffuses upward

(d) The water does not evaporates but diffuses downward

I had been asked this question by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

Query is from Concentrations, Velocities and Fluxes topic in section Modes and Diffusion of Mass Transfer

Right option is (c) The water evaporates and diffuses upward

Best explanation: The slight movement of air over the top of the tube does not bring about any change in the concentration profile of air.
