Solution

The correct option is B Decreases
Water has an abnormal behaviour as its density is maximum at $4^{o} C$ and below and above this temperature its density decreases or volume increases . Due to this behaviour , water is less dense as ice than as liquid (water) therefore when ice melts its density increases and volume decreases .
