    A. condensation

    Because the water cools, the dissolving process is absorbing heat and so is endothermic.

    To convert a gas to a liquid (condensation), the gas molecules must lose heat. So, that is an exothermic process.

    D is the only chemical reaction on the list of possible answers, and it is exothermic.
