Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a substance absorbs energy then molecules start to move from their initial place and they tend to slide past each other. As a result, phase change occurs.

A reaction in which reactants absorb energy are known as endothermic reactions. In this case, energy of products is more than reactants.

Therefore, when a liquid absorbs energy without increasing its temperature like ice melts at room temperature, then the liquid will evaporate.
