What happens when ice transform into steam

The thermal kinetic energy of the molecules is raised

Explanation:

As it takes some amount of heat energy to be converted to thermal energy to turn ice into water and water into a stream. As this state change, the temperature will rise again.  As the energy generated is being measured in Joule, a more commonly studied unit is a calorie. As matter vary in their capacity to absorb heat. Like ice needs about  0.50 as specific heat, water as 1.00 and stream 0.48 cal/g in degrees C. As the matter is heated the latent or hidden energy is released and tends to remain until the material changes its state.

The correct answer is  "c".  it is "c" because melting is an endothermic change, and endothermic get's energy from surroundings.
