Answer:

C.

The amount of heat changes, but the temperature does not change.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a substance changes its state or phase of matter, the amount of heat changes, but the temperature does not change. For example, if water changes from solid ice to liquid water, it absorbs more heat energy, but its temperature remains at the freezing point/melting point of 0°C (32°F).
