Correct answer: "Water could not convert from a gas to a liquid."
Explanation: Condensation is the process by which water vapor (gas) becomes liquid (cloud droplets, dew). Without condensation there would be no cloud formation or precipitation (rain, snow), though evaporation and transpiration (liquid → gas) would still occur. Consequently, no rain would fall and surface/groundwater recharge would collapse, severely disrupting ecosystems and the climate.
