Solution

The correct option is B Melting point
Pure, crystalline solids have a characteristic melting point, the temperature at which the solid melts to become a liquid is called as melting point of the solid.
When solids are heated the kinetic energy of their molecules increases because of that they break the inter molecular bonds present between them and become free from the fixed position.
