The correct answer is: **it takes energy to break hydrogen bonds.**
When water reaches its boiling point, adding heat does not increase its temperature; instead, the energy is used to break the hydrogen bonds between water molecules. This process allows the water to change from a liquid state to a gaseous state (steam) while maintaining a constant temperature.
