A and C are incorrect because they are not complete transfer of valence electrons. Ionic bonds best to form a neutral molecule
I believe Erosion is the process most likely responsible for the removal of the missing parts of the rock layers. Erosion involves the physical action of surface processes that removes soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, then moved away to another location.
This question includes four answer choices:
A. definite volume, highest molecular motion, highest kinetic energy
B. indefinite volume, least molecular motion, highest kinetic energy
C. definite volume, least molecular motion, lowest kinetic energy
D. definite volume, no molecular motion, lowest kinetic energy
Solids do not have the highest molecular motion (on the contrary they have the least molecular motion), so you can discard option A. Solids have a definite volume and the highest kinetic energy (given that they have the least molecular motion), so you discard option C. Molecules always have a vibrational motion, so you discard option D. Option C, have only characteristics that correctly describes a solid: definite volume, least molecular motion, lowest kinetic energy. Therefore, the answer is the option C.

First off, you must realize that the phase changes are marked by the points B and D on the graph. They are level because all of the energy (or heat) being added is being consumed by the physical process. So The temperature is increasing before the phase change, and after the phase change. The moments before and after are represented by points A, C, and E.
