A block of ice at -10°C is heated at a constant rate until it becomes superheated steam at 120°C. Arrange the following stages of this process in chronological order of their occurrence: 1. Latent heat of fusion is absorbed. 2. Specific heat is absorbed to raise the temperature of liquid water from 0°C to 100°C. 3. Latent heat of vaporization is absorbed. 4. Specific heat is absorbed to raise the temperature of ice from -10°C to 0°C. 5. Specific heat is absorbed to raise the temperature of steam from 100°C to 120°C. Select the correct sequence from the options given below:
Options:
- A: 4, 2, 1, 3, 5
- B: 4, 1, 2, 3, 5
- C: 1, 4, 2, 3, 5
- D: 4, 1, 3, 2, 5
