• C. Freezing
• D. Fusion

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Freezing

The explanation for the correct option(s):

Option C: Freezing.

1. The process of converting a liquid into a solid is called freezing.
2. Freezing is a phase transition in which a liquid turns into a solid when its temperature is lowered to its freezing point.

The explanation for the incorrect option(s):

Option A: Sublimation

1. The transition of the solid phase to the gaseous phase without passing the intermediate liquid phase is known as sublimation.

Option B: Condensation

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

Option D: Fusion

1. Fusion occurs when a substance changes from a solid to a liquid.

Hence, option C is the correct answer.
