Answer: The sun supplies the energy (radiation) that drives the water cycle.
Step-by-step explanation:
Option A is wrong because the Sun does not evenly heat up the Earth. The Earth is spherical so the sun heats up some areas more than others.
Option B is wrong as well because the sun does not affect the land and the water the same way.
Option C is correct because radiation from the sun is what causes evaporation in the water cycle.
Option D is wrong because as shown in the first option, the sun does not evenly heat up the Earth.
