A
Sublimation
B
Condensation
C
Liquid
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sublimation is the process in which solid directly changes to gas.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sublimation is the conversion between the solid and the gaseous phases of matter, with no intermediate liquid stage. For those of us interested in the water cycle, sublimation is most often used to describe the process of snow and ice changing into water vapor (gas) in the air without first melting into water.

Detailed explanation-3: -sublimation, in physics, conversion of a substance from the solid to the gaseous state without its becoming liquid.

Detailed explanation-4: -The best example of sublimation is dry ice which is a frozen form of carbon dioxide. When dry ice gets exposed to air, dry ice directly changes its phase from solid-state to gaseous state which is visible as fog.
