The best interpretation of the two flat portions of the graph is:
**These show where changes of state are occurring.**
In a temperature vs. energy graph (often seen in phase change diagrams), the flat portions indicate where the temperature remains constant while a substance undergoes a phase change (e.g., melting or boiling).
