D)Latent heat.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The heat energy involved in the change of state, or phase, in water is called latent heat. This is the energy required to change the water from a solid (ice) to a liquid or from a liquid to a gas (water vapor) without changing its temperature. This energy is released or absorbed during the phase change process. The latent heat of fusion is the energy required to melt ice or freeze water and the latent heat of vaporization is the energy required to evaporate water or condense water vapor.
