Solution

The temperature remains constant at the boiling point because of the heat of vaporization. This heat is used to overcome the intermolecular forces of attraction between the molecules. Therefore, option (i) is correct. The heat of fusion and heat of sublimation are not relevant in this case. So, the correct answer is (i) only.
