Answer:

Potential energy.

Explanation for yall who dont get:

Basically, the energy that is changing during a phase change is potential energy. Why? Cuz, during a phase change, the heat added (Potential Energy INCREASES) or released (Potential Energy DECREASES) allow the molecules to move apart or be together.
