Solution

The correct option is B heat was used for changing ice at 0C to water at 0C
The temperature does not rise for some time because heat was used for changing ice at 0C to water at 0C. When heat is given to solid ice, it first absorbs energy to convert into liquid water. After some time, when it converts into liquid water, temperature starts increasing.
