None of the above. When you are learning science early on in school, they teach you that their are 3 states of matter - when you get into higher levels of science, they begin teaching you that there are 4. Plasma is the fourth state of matter that gets widely ignored by science teachers until you are in college prep classes.

Plasma, which is another state of matter separate from a solid, liquid or gas, can be caused to change state (a physicalchange) if we cool it sufficiently. A plasma is a state of matter that occurs when sufficient energy is carried by the atoms involved. Thermal energy is so high that gas atoms have had electrons driven out of the orbitals about the atomic nuclei. By cooling the plasma, the atoms will "recapture" electrons and become a gas. Cool the gas more and it will condense to become a liquid. Further cooling will allow yet another change of state into a solid.

What is it called when solid turns into plasma?

A solid can't transform directly into a plasma. A plasma is an ionized gas, usually at a very high temperature. A solid has to melt then be vaporized into a gas (or in a few cases, sublimate from solid to gas) before it can become a plasma.
