Clouds are formed

Clouds are formed from the evaporation of the oceans' water that is warmed by the Sun and rises high into the atmosphere, condensing in tiny droplets on minute particles of dust.

A. Clouds are formed from the evaporation of the oceans' water that is warmed by the Sun and rises high into the atmosphere, condensing in tiny droplets on minute particles of dust.

B. Clouds form by the Sun's warmth evaporating the water in the oceans, which rises high into the atmosphere, condensing in tiny droplets on minute particles of dust.

C. Warmed by the Sun, ocean water evaporates, rises high into the atmosphere, and condenses in tiny droplets on minute particles of dust to form clouds.

D. The water in the oceans evaporates, warmed by the Sun, rises high into the atmosphere, and condenses in tiny droplets on minute particles of dust, which forms clouds.

E. Ocean water, warmed by the Sun, evaporates and rises high into the atmosphere, which then condenses in tiny droplets on minute particles of dust to form as clouds.


[spoiler]OA is Op C...well its the only Op that looks good, but is this Op perfect???
ocean water evaporates
ocean water rises
ocean water condenses

seems like all the events are independent and mutually exclusive...i believe, after ocean water evaporates, -ing forms (for ex rising) should be used to show the logical dependence of the other two events...please share your thoughts??? [/spoiler]

water evaporates, rises and condenses - in that order. The fact of a set sequence does not require different tenses.
