We know that in a change of state heat is used to break the links between the molecules or atoms of the substance but the temperature remains the same; in the graph shown we notice that we have two portions where the temperature remains constant 20° and 120°. Since vaporizing happens at greater temperature that solid to liquid change of state we conclude that the region where this happens is 120°; therefore, the answer is A.
