Answer: C

Solution.

A change in the physical state can be brought about when energy is either given to, or taken out from the system. When a solid change into liquid, it absorbs energy. It is because, energy change helps in changing the magnitude of attraction forces between the particles, thus helps in changing the physical states (i.e., solid, liquid, gas) of matter. When a liquid change into solid, it releases energy.
