Solution
The correct option is A
The ice at −20∘C converts to ice at 0∘C, so there is constant increase in temperature. At 0∘C, change of phase occurs, thus the temperature remains constant.
Water at 0∘C when heated increases in temperature to become water at 100∘C. Finally, water at 100∘C changes to steam at 100∘C, resulting in a change of phase.
Thus, graph (a) is the most appropriate depiction.
