Final answer:

None of the given options correctly describe the process of replacing a temporary material with a permanent material. Sublimation refers to a solid turning directly into a gas, while deposition is the reverse, a gas turning into a solid.

Step-by-step explanation:

The process where a temporary material is replaced with a permanent material is not described by any of the options provided. Option A, sublimation, refers to the process where a solid turns directly into a gas without passing through the liquid phase. An example of sublimation is dry ice turning into carbon dioxide gas. The reverse of sublimation is called deposition, where a gas transitions directly into a solid without passing through a liquid phase, such as frost forming on a window. These transformations involve phase changes and are not about replacing materials with a permanent substitute. Therefore, none of the options listed correctly describe the process of replacing a temporary material with a permanent one.
