Solution

The correct option is A Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1
As ice absorbs heat and begins to melt, its temperature remains constant, this statement is true because phase change from solid to liquid occurs at constant temperature. This is because change of state brings about changes in a substance's potential energy, not in its kinetic energy,so both statements are correct and second statement is correct explanation of first.
