How many basic steps are required to complete the water cycle?

The correct answer is: 5

The water cycle is a continuous process that involves the movement of water from the Earth's surface to the atmosphere and back. The basic steps of this cycle are evaporation, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, and runoff. With that in mind, we can eliminate options A and D, which both suggest a lower or higher number of steps. Option B can also be eliminated as it misses one of the important steps of infiltration. Option C correctly identifies the five basic steps required to complete the water cycle, making it the correct answer.
