Both camphor and ammonium chloride undergo sublimation.

Sublimation is the process where a substance transitions directly from the solid to the gas state, without passing through the liquid state. Both camphor and ammonium chloride exhibit this property under appropriate conditions.

Camphor (C₁₀H₁₆O) is an organic compound. Ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl) is an inorganic compound. Therefore, statements A, B, and D are incorrect. Camphor sublimes readily at room temperature, while ammonium chloride sublimes upon heating.
