Evaporation is the process of the hydrological cycle maintained by the ocean's large surface area.
Answer:
Option A, Evaporation
Explanation:
Ocean consists of large amount of water in it and when it gets heated it evaporates and rises up thereby causing evaporation. While in case of infiltration and seepage interaction of water with earth is necessary as water infiltrates and seeps down below the earth crust.
In sublimation, any substance directly converts from solid to gaseous phase. No such process occurs in ocean as a part of hydrological cycle.
Thus, option A, Evaporation is correct
