The correct answer is:
**B. Before deposition, the particles slide by each other; after deposition, they vibrate in place.**
Explanation: Before deposition, water vapor (gas) consists of particles that move freely and slide past each other due to their energy. After deposition, when water vapor changes directly to ice, the water particles lose energy and become more ordered, resulting in the particles vibrating in fixed positions within the solid structure of ice.
