The Correct option is D. Among the options provided, the phase change during which water particles gain energy is D) Melting. During the process of melting, water absorbs energy from the environment to overcome the interactions between molecules that keep it in a solid state. This added energy allows the water molecules to move more freely, transitioning the water from a solid (ice) to a liquid.
