Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
At boiling point, supplied heat (latent heat) breaks intermolecular bonds for phase change, not increasing kinetic energy (temperature). Potential energy increases while kinetic energy (temperature) stays constant. Memory aid: 'Latent heat changes state, not temperature'. Conceptual question testing phase change understanding, common in competitive exams to assess microscopic interpretation.
