An experiment is carried out to observe the melting ice. heat energy is supplied at a constant rate. the temperature of the ice is recorded at different intervals of time. after some time, the observed values of temperatures become constant even though heat energy is supplied to the ice

explain what is happening in this situation

If the ambient temperature around a piece of ice increases, the temperature of the ice will increase as well. However, this steady increase in temperature stops as soon as the ice reaches its melting point. At this point, the ice undergoes a change of state and turns into liquid water, and its temperature won't change until all of it has melted. You can test this with a simple experiment. Leave a cup of ice cubes in a hot car and monitor the temperature with a thermometer. You'll find that the icy water remains at a frosty 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) until all of it has melted. When that happens, you'll notice a quick temperature rise as the water continues to absorb heat from the inside of the car.

i think it is d. e because the next one is igneous.
