Solution
The correct option is C The temperature of the ice remains constant until all of the ice has melted into water, then the temperature of the water steadily rises for 15 minutes. Temperature of the substance remains constant during its phase change whereas the temperature of substance increases when its is heated but keeping it in the same phase.
Thus temperature remains constant during melting of ice and after ice has melted completely, temperature of water thus formed rises for 15 minutes.
