Solution

The correct answer is a. If the temperature of the air does not change, the relative humidity will increase.

Here's why:

Relative humidity is the amount of moisture in the air compared to the maximum amount of moisture the air could hold at the same temperature. If the amount of water vapor (moisture) in the air increases, and the temperature stays the same, then the air is holding a larger percentage of the maximum amount of moisture it could hold. Therefore, the relative humidity increases.
