Liquid

Understanding the Answer

Let's break down why this is correct

Answer

Solid to liquid is the melting transition, where a solid absorbs heat and becomes a liquid. The analogous change for a gas is condensation, in which a gas releases heat and turns into a liquid. Thus the relationship is Solid : Liquid :: Gas : Liquid. For example, when steam cools, it condenses into water, just as ice melts into water.

Detailed Explanation

The pair shows a change from a solid state to a liquid state. Other options are incorrect because Many think the hottest gas becomes plasma, but plasma is a fully ionized gas; Some mix up the direction of the change.
