Spherical droplets produced from a liquid by a mechanical process such as splashing, bubbling, or spraying.

• A. Fogs
• B. Smokes
• C. Mists
• D. Vapors

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is how droplets form when a liquid is broken up by mechanical energy. When a liquid is shattered into tiny droplets through actions like splashing, bubbling, or spraying, those droplets become suspended in air and form a mist. Mist is defined by these tiny, liquid droplets created directly by mechanical atomization, rather than by vapor condensing or solid particles forming.

Fog looks similar but arises from water vapor condensing into droplets in the air near the ground, rather than being produced by mechanical breakup. Smokes are made up of solid particles from combustion, not liquid droplets. Vapors are the gaseous form of a substance, not droplets suspended in air. So the description fits mist because it emphasizes mechanical creation of spherical liquid droplets.
