It is to be noted that the statement that provides evidence of her scientific investigation about physical changes caused by temperature is "When a substance evaporates, it changes from a liquid to a gas, and when a substance melts, it changes from a solid to a liquid." (Option C)
The statement, "When a substance evaporates, it changes from a liquid to a gas, and when a substance melts, it changes from a solid to a liquid," reflects the scientific investigation into physical changes caused by temperature.
It explains the transformative processes of evaporation and melting, where temperature-induced alterations lead to changes in states of matter.
As shown in the image, at Freezing point, water turns to solid and it's called Ice, at room temperature, it is liquid. When this liquid is further heated to about 100°C, it turns to vapor, the gaseous form of water.

Although part of your question is missing, you might be referring to this full question:
Maria is conducting an experiment about physical changes that are affected by temperature. For her experiment, she is observing the physical properties of the objects shown in the images. Select the statement that provides evidence for her scientific investigation. (1 point)
a. steamy water in the shower melting ice Public Domain a Blue water, like the water in the lake, freezes, and clear water, like the water from the shower, evaporates.
b. Water in the lake is large in shape, which is why it freezes, and water in the shower is small in shape, which is why it evaporates.
c When a substance evaporates, it changes from a liquid to a gas, and when a substance melts, it changes from a solid to a liquid.
d If there is less water, the water will evaporate more easily, and if there is more water, the water will freeze more easily.
