Correct Answer
D
Explanation
Steam burns are more severe than burns from boiling water because steam has a higher heat capacity and can transfer more energy to the skin. When water boils, it reaches its boiling point and turns into steam. Steam contains a significant amount of heat energy, and when it comes into contact with the skin, it can cause more damage than boiling water alone. Additionally, steam can penetrate deeper into the skin, causing more extensive burns. It is important to exercise caution when dealing with steam to avoid serious burns.
