The correct answer to the question will be absorption i.e when ice melts to water, then heat is absorbed.
Ice and liquid water are the two states of water. Ice is present at solid state while water is in liquid state.
When we provide heat from any external source to ice, ice will be converted into water. During this process, the temperature of the ice will be constant as long as whole ice is not converted into water. The heat given to the system will increase the potential energy of system for which the state of ice will be changed to water.
The heat provided here to ice is called latent heat.
