The correct response is:

**When the temperature reaches the boiling point, the water changes state.**

As water is heated and reaches its boiling point, it changes from the liquid state to the gaseous state (steam) while maintaining its chemical composition (H₂O). Other statements provided contain inaccuracies, such as changes to the molecular structure or incorrect descriptions of molecule behavior.
