Answer:

A) The mass would be the same.

Explanation:

Since there is no loss of any particle to vapor during the phase change process from solid to liquid, the mass of the before and after the process will remain the same.

In this way, the law of conservation of mass is obeyed.
Mass is the amount of matter contained in a substance.
Since there is no room for escape or matter loss, the mass will remain the same.
