22%  percentage of precipitation falls back onto land.

D. 22%

Explanation:

Water cycle is the phenomenon in which both evaporation and condensation or precipitation of water takes place. Water evaporates from the lakes, ponds, oceans and other water bodies to the atmosphere because of the heat.

The evaporated water or water vapour then form clouds which gets precipitated or condensed and falls back to the land in the form of rain, snow, hail storm, sleet etc.

However, all the forms that fall into the land have one thing in common i.e., all of them come from clouds as the clouds get heavy by the evaporated water.
