Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Due to anomalous expansion of water at temperature range (0 - 4)°c, when a given mass of water turns into ice, its volume will increase, while the mass remains constant. Thus, when a given volum of ice melts, the volume of water formed will be less than the volume of ice. Hence, the level of water in the container will drop.
