Solution

The correct option is D latent heat
The heat which is supplied is used up for breaking the bonds between the molecules of the substance instead of increasing temperature, thus enabling a change in state. This heat is called latent heat.

Latent heat is the heat that is required to convert a solid into a liquid/vapor, or a liquid into a vapour, without causing change in temperature.

So, the correct option is 'C'.
