Why does a person feel colder when stepping out of a swimming pool on a windy day compared to a calm day at the same temperature?

Options:

  • A: Wind increases the relative humidity of the air, which accelerates the transfer of cold air to the body.
  • B: Wind removes the saturated air layer near the skin, maintaining a steep concentration gradient that accelerates evaporation and the associated latent heat extraction.
  • C: Wind lowers the actual temperature of the water droplets remaining on the skin below the ambient wet-bulb temperature.
  • D: Wind increases the specific heat capacity of the air, allowing it to absorb more heat from the body.
