Which phrases does water go through if you use distillation to separate it from dissolved sugar A from a solid to a liquid and then to a gas B from a liquid to a gas and back to a liquid C from a liquid to a solid and then to a gas D from a liquid to a solid and back to a liquid

When you use distillation to separate water from dissolved sugar, the process involves heating the liquid solution (water with sugar dissolved in it) to evaporate the water, turning it into a gas (water vapor), and then cooling that vapor to condense it back into a liquid.

The correct phrases to describe this process are:

B: from a liquid to a gas and back to a liquid.

In summary, the water transitions from a liquid (the sugar-water solution) to a gas (water vapor) upon heating, and then returns to a liquid state when it is cooled during the distillation process.
