a. Temperature in the air is increased by the process of moisture condensation
b. The limits at which the air contains as much moisture as it can hold for a given temperature is called sublimation point.
(These both sound false to me, but I can only chose one false answer!)

Am quite sure its B..

A is false.
The sublimation point is for instance air that is 70 degrees (hypothetically) can hold 30% humidity. But as the air cools the humidity level increases. The air continues to cool until 100% humidity level is reached then rain occurs.
I could easily be confusing the two but I think this is it...simple gaseous humidity turns to solid rain

when air condenses, it loses kinetic energy, particles slow and become particles of a liquid. Thus, the energy level of the liquid is lowered and the energy level of the air increases. condensation is exothermic.
The opposite of how evaporation, which is endothermic, causes cooling.
Thus, i think b is wrong.
Sublimation is the process where a solid turns into a gas while skipping the liquid state. i.e direct solid to gaseous state change. so i believe this has nothing to do with maximum moisture.
Hope this helped.

A is true because when water vapour condenses, it releases heat as water vapour condenses in cool surroundings. Therefore, heat is passed from the water increasing the temperature of the air.

A is true. Condensation is the opposite of evaporation. Evaporation cools the surrounding air. Condensation heats it.
B is false. It is the dew point or sometimes called the saturation point.

Sounds to me like b is false. "Sublimation" is a change in state from a solid directly to a gas. That seems unrelated to the saturation point.

The answer is B...
Remember, Vaporation is a cooling process just as Condensation is a warming process (release of energy)
