Solution

The correct option is A True
The latent heat absorbed by ice to get converted into water is greater than the heat absorbed by water at same temperature. Generally, ice has to absorb $3.3 J / K g$ to get converted into water. Thus water has more heat than ice.
Thus ice appears colder than water at $0^{0} C .$
