The diagram represents the hydrologic cycle, which is the Earth subsystem that represents the circulation of Earth's water throughout the hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere, and geosphere. Choice A (evaporative cycle) only represents one aspect of the hydrologic cycle, Choice B (aquasphere) is not a recognized term for this subsystem, and Choice D (water rotation) does not accurately describe the complexity of the system.
