To accurately answer your question about portion C, I would need to understand what kind of graph you're referring to. However, in the context of a typical phase change graph for water, we can infer the following:
- During a phase change (for example, when ice is melting to water or water is boiling to steam), the temperature remains constant while energy is added (or released). This indicates that energy is used to break intermolecular forces during the phase transition.
If portion C corresponds to a phase change (like melting or boiling), then the correct statement would typically be:
**The energy is increasing, but the temperature stays the same.**
If you have a specific context or other details about portion C, feel free to provide that information for a more tailored response!
