Answer:
D. The ice-to-liquid phase change of water requires less energy than the liquid-to-vapor phase.
Explanation:
In the phase change from liquid to gas, the bonds between atoms are completely broken. The phase change from liquid to gas requires more energy because the bonds must be completely broken for it to take place, rather than just loosened as in the phase change of solid to liquid.
Phase changes can have a strong stabilizing effect on temperatures that are not near the melting and boiling points, since evaporation and condensation occur even at temperatures below the boiling point.
More energy is required to evaporate water below the boiling point than at the boiling point, because the kinetic energy of water molecules at temperatures below 100°C is less than that at 100°C, so less energy is available from random thermal motions.

Answer:
C. Luster
Explanation:
Luster is a phenomenon which refers to the manner with which the outer surface of a mineral reflects light.
Depending on the mineral, the 'luster' can differ. For example, in some minerals, the surface appears to be translucent, while in others, the surface appears to be transparent.
There are different types of luster, but they are categorized majorly into two:
- Metallic luster (the surface of the mineral appears like the surface of a metal).
- Non metallic luster.
