Solution

The correct option is B

Ice converts into water by absorbing heat.


Ice, being a solid, comprises of very closely packed molecules which possess less kinetic energy. To convert it into the liquid state, heat energy has to be supplied to overcome the forces of attraction between the particles. These particles absorb the heat energy, break the force of attraction and turn into liquid state.
