a is replaced.
b forms clouds.
c precipitates to the ground.
d is stored in a lake or stream.

Explanation:

After evaporation, water vapor rises into the atmosphere. In the atmosphere, the water vapor cools and condenses to form clouds. This is a key part of the water cycle process as shown in the diagram (where evaporation leads to water vapor in the atmosphere which then relates to cloud - formation). Option A (is replaced) is too vague and not a standard description of the next stage. Option C (precipitates to the ground) is a later stage after cloud formation. Option D (is stored in a lake or stream) is part of the liquid - water storage which is a different phase from the immediate post - evaporation stage.

Answer:

B. forms clouds.
