Specific humidity is the proportion of the mass of water vapor per unit mass of the moist air sample (dry air plus the water vapor) it is closely related to humidity ratio and always lower in value.

C right because water vapour weight in kg/wet air (dry air+water vapour) in kg.

D right because the Specific humidity is approximately equal to the "mixing ratio", which is defined as the ratio of the mass of water vapor in an air parcel to the mass of dry air for the same parcel.

It is not clear can any of you please elaborate it.

My question is ' How water vapors can be present in dry air' as written in the question?
Amrit said:

I think humidity ratio is the ratio in the mixture of water vapour and dry air.
Humidity ratio is evaluated from moist air. Eg. If 3kg of dry air is mixed with 2 kg of water vapour then humidity ratio will be 2/3.

How can we measure air in terms of 'kg' and how water vapour can be present in 'dry air'?
Puneet said:

Specific humidity, the mass of water vapour in a unit mass of moist air, usually expressed as grams of vapour per kilogram of air.

Please explain clearly.

Dry air means there is no water suspended particals in air but dry water vapor are preent. Therefore these dry vapors %age is called specific humidity ratio.
