The correct answer is:
**D. Before deposition, the particles move quickly in all directions; after deposition, they vibrate in place.**
Before deposition occurs (when water is in a gaseous state as water vapor), the water particles have high kinetic energy and move freely, which is characteristic of the gas phase. After deposition, the water vapor turns into ice, which has a solid structure where the particles are closely packed and can only vibrate in place.
