The correct answer is B) deliquescence
The property of a substance to absorb moisture from the air on exposure is called deliquescence.
This process occurs when a substance absorbs moisture from the atmosphere until it dissolves in the absorbed water and forms a solution.
Deliquescence is the most common form of moisture absorption and is different from other forms such as osmosis, desiccation, and efflorescence.
