The graph above illustrates the variation of temperature \(\theta\) with time (t) for a solid that is being heated. Which processes take place at segments P and Q respectively?
 

A.

Freezing and vaporization

B.

Evaporation and solidification

C.

Melting and boiling

D.

Condensation and evaporation

Correct answer is C

Since the substance is solid, it will need heat to melt to liquid and once the liquid starts boiling temperature will remain the same.
