One morning, a student notices that the grass in the area is wet, although it had not rained during the night. What could have caused the grass to be wet?

• During the night, water had evaporated from the trees in the area.

• The air above the ground became warmer during the night and caused precipitation.

• When the air cooled above ground during the night, water vapor condensed on the grass.

• The grass soaked up water from the ground during the night.
