    Surface runoff and condensation

    Explanation:

    Let's define each of the given processes in order to understand them better:

    evaporation is a process in which liquid phase transforms into a gas phase; precipitation is a process in which we produce a solid phase, usually this is the case when we precipitate a salt out of a solution, analogy of precipitation for water would be transformation from a liquid to a solid phase, such as freezing; surface runoff is a process in which water flows over the surface of a land without any change in its phase; condensation is a process in which a gas transforms into a liquid.

    All in all, notice that surface runoff keeps water in its liquid state, while all the other three options consider phase change. The only phase change of interest is condensation: we produce liquid water from water vapor and then we can analyze its movement in the liquid state.
