Step-by-step explanation:

Point B is right at the border between a solid and a liquid so you can have two physical changes:

a) solid is meting to transform into a liquid

or

b) liquid is freezing to transform into a solid (C)

solid to gas - sublimation

gas to solid - deposition

liquid to gas - boiling

gas to liquid - condensation
