Solution

  1. If the water at 0°Cis heated, its volume decreases until the temperature reaches4°C.
  2. Above4°C water behaves normally, and its volume increases as the temperature increases.
  3. At 4°C, the density of water is greatest.
  4. This behavior of water is called its anomalous behavior.

So the temperature at which the density is maximum at 4°C.
