Solution

The correct option is B Temperature remains constant.
During the experiment of melting of ice, that the temperature of the system does not change after the melting point is reached, till all the ice melts. This happens even though we continue to supply heat. This heat gets used up in changing the state by overcoming the forces of attraction between the particles.
