What happens to the energy added during a phase change?

A. it decreases the temperature
B. it is used for the phase change
C. it increases the temperature
D. it is converted to kinetic energy

You're answer is D: it is converted to kinetic energy

Explanation:

During a change of phase, the average kinetic energy of the molecules stays the same, but the average potential energy changes. ... My interpretation is that during a phase change, the temperature remains equal, but the kinetic energy of its particles increase/decrease.
