Answer:

D. Melting point

Step-by-step explanation:

A physical property in which the temperature at which a substance in a solid state transforms to a liquid state is the melting point.

The melting point is an indicator of a phase change where solid changes to liquid.

  • Boiling point is the temperature by which the vapor pressure of liquids excesses the atmospheric pressure
  • Freezing point is the temperature at which a liquid change to solid
  • Evaporating point is the point in which liquid changes to gas or vapor.
