Answer:

Second and Fourth box

Step-by-step explanation:

By looking at the picture of the graph the right way from left to right in the x-axis named "Increasing Energy" it is the second and fourth box. I took the Plato test and it is the correct answer.

The part of the graph which is marked by 2nd and 4th boxes are the regions where the substance gains potential energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Potential energy in the matter is stored in form of chemical energy in the chemical bonds. At this point, the temperature of the substance doesn't rise. But when the temperature rises, actually the kinetic energy of the substance rise, because of the molecular vibration.

In the graph, the line marks a distinct pattern where the temperature rises at certain places, and in certain places, it's still, even if the energy is supplied. So here in the parts of graph where it shows a horizontal curve, the potential energy of the matter rise.
