The correct answer is

Triple-point

On a phase diagram, the triple point is the unique combination of temperature and pressure at which solid, liquid and gas phases of a substance coexist in equilibrium.

For water, the triple point is 273.16 K (0.01 °C) at a pressure of about 611.66 Pa.

Allotropy refers to different structural forms of one element (such as diamond and graphite), and the other two terms do not describe this state.

Hence, Triple-point.
