Vedclass · Answer

(C) When water at $100\,^{\circ}C$ turns into steam at $100\,^{\circ}C$,it absorbs an additional amount of energy known as the latent heat of vaporization. This energy is stored in the steam without any change in temperature. Therefore,when steam comes into contact with skin,it releases this extra latent heat in addition to the heat released by cooling the water,causing more severe burns compared to water at the same temperature.
