Answer

When a substance is heated to its boiling point, it changes from a liquid to a gas. The correct option is A) liquid to gas, which is the process of boiling (vaporization).

Explanation

What the boiling point tells you

The boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid has enough energy for bubbles of vapor to form throughout the liquid and escape as gas.

Matching boiling to the correct state change

  • Boiling (vaporization): liquid $\rightarrow$ gas

So the correct choice is A) liquid to gas.

Why the other options are different processes

  • B) liquid $\rightarrow$ solid is freezing.
  • C) solid $\rightarrow$ liquid is melting.
  • D) gas $\rightarrow$ liquid is condensation.
