Answer:The correct answer is option B

Step-by-step explanation:

During change in state of matter energy of the molecules also changes.When any matter changes its state from liquid to solid the kinetic energy of the molecules of that matter also changes that is kinetic energy of the molecules decreases.Due to this decrease in kinetic energy the molecules of matter in their liquid state settle down and get converted into solid state.

Hence, the correct answer is option B.
