Answer:

B - The melting point is a lower temperature than the boiling point.

Explanation:

Melting point is the temperature at which any given solid will melt. The state of the solid changes from solid to liquid.

Boiling point is the temperature at which a given liquid boils and changes to vapor state. Like water starts to boil at 100 degrees Celsius.

The boiling point of a substance cannot be lower than its melting point.

So, the answer here is - The melting point is a lower temperature than the boiling point.
