Which statement describes how phase changes can be diagrammed as a substance is heated?

A heating curve shows how a substance’s temperature changes as it is heated over time. Temperature is placed on the y-axis, and time is placed on the x-axis; flat sections of the curve indicate phase changes, when temperature stays constant while heat is added. Therefore, the correct choice is D: temperature on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
