C Correct answer
Explanation

When we pour some acetone (nail polish remover) on our palm, we feel cool. This is because particles gain energy (equal to latent heat of vapourisation) from our palm or surroundings and evaporate, causing the palm to feel cool. the palm will not get heated. It will not become red and it will not pain as nail polish remover does not harm our skin.
