Answer: (C) Vaporizing

Step-by-step explanation:

Vaporization is the process in which the substance change the state of of liquid into the gas state.

The vaporization process require the largest input of the energy as when the state is in the solid state then, the solid substances contain the strong forces of the attraction and they require high energy to break these strong bonds.

For changing the liquid state into the gases state we require to overcome the surface tension and require enough energy for acquiring the vaporization state.

Therefore, option (C) is correct.
