Answer:

A) ice, water, steam

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that water exists in three states, which are: solid ice, liquid water, and gaseous steam.

- Ice is formed when water freezes at 0 degrees Centigrade. In this state molecules ar tightly bound to each other, arranged in specific repeating patterns.

- Water, here molecules are connected loosely to each other making it flow and pour.

- Steam, when water boils at 100 degrees Centigrade at sea level. Here molecules are not connected to each other and can move freely.
