Solution

The correct option is B
Heat is released.

Ice being a solid comprises of very closely packed particles which possess less kinetic energy. On heating, the particles of ice gain kinetic energy. At its melting point $(0^{0} C)$ , the particles gain sufficient amount of energy to overcome the interparticle force of attraction and get converted into the liquid state.
