• D. Freezing

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Melting

Melting (fusion) is a physical process that results in the phase transition of a substance from a solid to a liquid.

Freezing is a phase transition in which a liquid turns into a solid when its temperature is lowered below its freezing point.

Boiling is the rapid vaporization of a liquid, which occurs when a liquid is heated to its boiling point.

Evaporation is the process of a substance in a liquid state changing to a gaseous state due to an increase in temperature.
