Answer 1

The correct option is D

Vaporization

The explanation for the correct option(s):

Option D: Vaporization.

1. The process of a liquid becoming a gas is called vaporization.
2. The boiling point of a substance is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid and the liquid changes into a vapor.

The explanation for the incorrect option(s):

Option A: Melting

1. The process by which a substance changes from the solid phase to the liquid phase is known as melting.

Option B: Freezing

1. The process by which a substance changes from the liquid phase to the solid phase is known as freezing.

Option C: Condensation

1. The process by which a substance changes from the gaseous phase to the liquid phase is known as condensation.
