The correct answer is A. In the process of freezing, a liquid loses kinetic energy and turns into a solid.

Step-by-step explanation:

The kinetic energy in a substance is produced by the movement of the participles in it. Additionally, this depends on the state of the substance, for example, in gases substances move freely and therefore produce more kinetic energy than in liquids in which the movement is more restricted or in solids in which particles only vibrate. This means, in the process of freezing that implies a liquid turning into a solid the particles lose kinetic energy as their movement is limited in a solid state.
