The appropriate answer is c. geysers. A geysers a hot water fountain that spouts intermittently with great force, frequently accompanied by a thunderous roar. The world famous Old Faithful is located in Yellowstone National Park. This geyser erupts every 65 min sending a jet of water almost 60 meters into the air. Sinkholes and caves are formed by the action of groundwater on carbonate rocks which causes them to colapse and former these structures.
The answer is D. The temperature obviously doesnt rise slower or faster, and if you are heating an object, it would make no sense to say that less heat is being transferred.
Explanation :
The heating curve shows how water changes from one state of matter to another based on temperature and the addition or removal of heat over time.
Initially, ice is heated until its temperature reaches 
and changes to liquid state.
From the attached graph it is clear that until 
the temperature will rise steadily. Here, the liquid begins to vaporize. Vaporization is the state of matter at which liquid state changes to the gaseous state.
So, E is the point which shows the gaseous state.
Gases can be compressed, because they just take up the space surrounding them. The attractive forces between the particles in a gas are very weak, so the particles are free to move in random direction. They just move along until they collide, either with the walls of the container or with each other. Moreover, gases can be compressed because the particles are far apart and they have space to move into.
