Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The freezing point of water is the temperature at which water changes phase from a liquid to a solid. Under normal conditions, ordinary water freezes at `0^(@)C, or 32^(@)F`. The temperature may be lower if supercooling occurs or if there are impurities present in the water which could cause freezing point depression to occur.
