Solution

The correct option is C It contracts till the temperature of water above reaches 4C
If we take some water at 0C and start heating it,we find that in the temperature range 0C to 4C,it contracts instead of expanding.on heating it further above 4C,it expands. if water initially at a temperature above 4C is cooled it contracts till the temperature of water above reaches 4C.
