To accurately determine what is happening at portion C based on the phase change graph for water, we need to consider the characteristics of phase changes.
In a typical phase change graph for water:
- **Heating phase (between ice and water)**: As energy increases, the temperature also increases. This corresponds to a solid (ice) warming up and becoming liquid water.
- **Phase change (at 0°C from ice to water)**: During this section, energy is added, but the temperature remains constant as the ice is melting into water.
- **Heating phase (between water and steam)**: As energy continues to be added beyond 100°C, the temperature of water increases until it reaches boiling point.
- **Phase change (at 100°C from water to steam)**: During this section, energy is again added, but the temperature remains constant as the water turns into steam.
Assuming portion C is a section where a phase change occurs, the correct response would be:
**The energy is increasing, but the temperature stays the same.**
This response would typically refer to the phase change where water is either melting or boiling, where energy is being absorbed to change phases while the temperature remains constant during the transition.
