Answer 1

D it’s definitely D if I’m wrong sorry…

Answer 2

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Sublimation is when a solid turns into a gas.

A is not sublimation, it is condensation (gas to liquid = water vapor to dew)

B is evaporation (liquid to gas = liquid deodorant to gas)

D is melting (solid to liquid = ice cream to liquid ice cream)

E is condensation (gas to liquid = water vapor to water droplets)

C is the correct answer, because dry ice is a solid and carbon dioxide is a gas, so it is changing from solid to gas.
