Answer (2)

Dehumidification helps people feel cooler by enhancing the evaporation process of sweat from the skin, which is effective in hot and humid conditions. The correct answer is that it 'speeds up the process of evaporation on the skin.' This adjustment in humidity levels allows our bodies to cool down more efficiently. ;

Dehumidification enhances the cooling effect on the body by speeding up the evaporation of sweat from the skin. High humidity hinders evaporation, making it feel warmer. Thus, reducing humidity allows for more effective cooling.
