A glass of cold water is set on a desktop. Later that day, beads of water had formed on the outside of the glass. The MOST likely explanation for the beads of water is that

• the water soaked through the glass

• some water dripped over the side

• someone sprayed the glass with water

• water vapor condensed on the sides
