Solution
The correct option is B temperature Latent heat of fusion is the heat energy that is absorbed by the solid without showing any rise in temperature during phase change at melting point. Since this energy is used for overcoming the inter-particle force of attraction, the kinetic energy of the particles remains constant and hence there is no rise in temperature.
