When a solid changes to a liquid, it is called the ____ point.
A
Melting
B
Freezing
C

D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The correct option is D. Melting. The process by which a solid gets converted to a liquid is called melting.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Melting occurs when a solid is heated and turns to liquid. The particles in a solid gain enough energy to overcome the bonding forces holding them firmly in place. Typically, during melting, the particles start to move about, staying close to their neighbouring particles, then move more freely.
