A Correct answer
Explanation

Camphor is the classic example of a substance that sublimates at room temperature, transitioning directly from solid to vapor without becoming liquid. Ice can sublimate under specific low-pressure or low-humidity conditions, but this is not its typical behavior. Wax and ethyl alcohol melt into liquid before evaporating, so they do not undergo true sublimation.
