Answer is C.
An increase in motion and less attraction between particles
A change in phase can result from adding or removing thermal energy. For example, adding heat can change a solid to a liquid or a liquid to a gas, while removing heat can change a gas to a liquid or a liquid to a solid.
An increase in motion and less attraction between particles
Freezing is the process where a substance changes from a liquid to a solid by extracting heat energy. So, freezing actually involves the removal of thermal energy from a substance rather than adding thermal energy.
If energy is removed from a solid, the particles that make up the solid will lose kinetic energy and slow down. This will result in a decrease in temperature, causing the solid to cool down until it reaches thermal equilibrium with its surroundings.
Adding thermal energy can cause a substance to change from a solid to a liquid or from a liquid to a gas, through processes like melting or boiling. Removing thermal energy can cause a substance to change from a gas to a liquid or from a liquid to a solid, through processes like condensation or freezing.

hotter and brings it closer to its boiling point
You are adding heat/energy. It is melting.
At its melting point (assuming it has one).

Yes, adding heat to a solid increases the kinetic energy of its particles, causing them to vibrate more rapidly within their fixed positions. This increase in kinetic energy leads to a rise in temperature, which can eventually cause the solid to melt into a liquid.
Adding heat to matter causes the atoms to vibrate faster and increase in kinetic energy. This can result in the matter changing states, such as melting from a solid to a liquid or evaporating from a liquid to a gas.
Adding energy to a piece of solid steel can increase its temperature, causing it to expand or even melt if the energy input is high enough. Additionally, the steel could undergo phase changes, like from solid to liquid. Highly concentrated energy input, such as from a laser beam, can result in rapid localized heating and even vaporization of the steel.
