Solution
The correct option is C melted the ice near a fire.
An action verb with a direct object is transitive while an action verb with no direct object is intransitive. In this sentence, we would be understanding the correct usage of transitive and intransitive verbs. The given sentence, the usage of verb is wrong. The sentence, explains a boy melting ice near fire. Usage of "at" in the phrase defines a place. It changes the meaning of the whole sentence. Similar thing happens when we put "in" in the sentence. If we are just using melted it signifies that the boy melted and not the ice. The correct option is option C as it is not changing the meaning of the actual sentence. Option C is correct.
