Solution

The correct option is B False
  • Freezing refers to the phase change of a substance from a liquid state to a solid-state.
  • Pure water has a freezing point of 0°C at sea level.
  • If there are impurities in the water, the freezing point becomes less than 0°C.
  • Also, as the pressure increases, the freezing point of water decreases.
  • Thus, the above statement is false.
