Assertion (A): The increasing pressure on water decreases its freezing point.
Reason (R ):The density of water is maximum at `273 K`.

Options

A. If both `(A)` and `(R )` are correct, and `(R )` is the correct explanation of `(A)`.
B. If both `(A)` and `(R )` are correct, but `(R )` is not the correct explanation of `(A)`.
C. If `(A)` is correct, but `(R )` is incorrect.
D. If `(A)` is correct, but `(R )` is correct.

Answer

C

Explanation
