Changing from a solid to a liquid is known as
A
Freezing Point
B
Boiling Point
C
Melting Point
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -melting. The change of state from solid to liquid is known as melting.

Detailed explanation-2: -Melting. The process by which a solid gets converted to a liquid is called melting. You have probably seen this many times. Ice melts into water, your ice-cream melts to a liquidy mess and so do many other solids. Melting is a physical change.

Detailed explanation-3: -The melting point of ice is 0 °C. The melting point of a solid is the same as the freezing point of the liquid. At that temperature, the solid and liquid states of the substance are in equilibrium. For water, this equilibrium occurs at 0oC.

Detailed explanation-4: -melting, change of a solid into a liquid when heat is applied. In a pure crystalline solid, this process occurs at a fixed temperature called the melting point; an impure solid generally melts over a range of temperatures below the melting point of the principal component.

Detailed explanation-5: -The temperature at which a solid substance gets converted into liquid is called the melting point or fusion point.
