C Correct answer
Explanation

Camphor (option C) exhibits the property of sublimation - it transitions directly from solid to vapour without passing through the liquid phase. Ice melts to water before evaporating, wax melts to liquid, and ethyl alcohol evaporates from liquid. Sublimation is characteristic of certain solids like camphor, dry ice (solid CO2), and naphthalene.
