At lunch, the babysitter gives tanya and damien each a chocolate candy. tanya puts her candy on her plate. damien saves his candy in his pocket. after lunch, damien discovers his candy has melted. which statement accurately compares the atoms in the two candies? a. the atoms in damien’s candy have less energy. b. the atoms in damien’s candy are vibrating faster. c. the atoms in damien’s candy are unable to move.

The correct option is B.
This question is testing your knowledge of the differences between solid and liquid particles. The particles of the solid vibrate around a fixed position, they can not move about while those of the liquid are able to move to some extent. The candy in Damien's pocket melted because it was heated up by the temperature of his body. Because the particles of the chocolate has been heated, they gain more kinetic energy and they vibrate faster compare to that of the solid chocolate.
