Solution

The correct option is A

Solidification


Freezing, or solidification, is a phase transition in which a liquid turns into a solid when its temperature is lowered below its freezing point. The difference is mainly with temperature. Usually, we speak of solidification for metals and alloys at high temperatures, while for freezing it occurs at low temperatures.
