Answer:

B. Sublimation

Step-by-step explanation:

Normally, when a gas or vapor, like water vapor, is cooled, it turns into a liquid (condensation).

  • Example: Water vapor would turn into liquid water.

If that liquid is cooled further, it turns into a solid (freezing).

  • Example: Liquid water would turn into ice.

However, Deposition is the process in which a gas changes into a solid phase without ever turning into liquid.

Sublimation is the reverse process in which a solid changes into a gas phase without turning into a liquid.

  • Tip: Think of how "dry ice" phases from solid to gas. It's dry because there is no liquid phase.
