What is happening from letters D to E?

• As the water vapor rises, it gets colder and molecules condense closer together which forms clouds.

• As the water vapor rises, it gets colder and molecules are very far apart which forms clouds.

• As the water vapor rises, it gets warmer and spread out to form clouds

• As the water vapor rises, it gets warmer and condenses into the water droplet of clouds
