The relative humidity is the measure of moisture in air at any given temperature and pressure, so when the air gets wet, Rh should increase, not decrease.

Relative humidity decreases when the air gets wet. It can be noticed in winter season, during winter season the heat pump supplies hot and humidified air.

Answer should be false. Because the air gets wet where RH is increases.

The answer is true because relative humidity tells about an amount of water vapor present and not on the amount of liquid present. So as the air gets wet it decreases water vapor but increases liquid quantity so the given answer is correct.
