Answer 1

When water is boiling, adding heat:

D does not increase the temperature.

During the boiling process, the temperature of the water remains constant at the boiling point (100°C at sea level) as it undergoes a phase change from liquid to gas. The added heat is used to break the intermolecular bonds in the water, allowing it to change states, rather than increasing the temperature.
