Solution

The correct options are
B

Wax


C

Lead


The melting point of the substances which contract on melting (like ice and polythene) decreases by the increase in pressure.
On the other hand, the melting point of the substances (such as wax, lead) which expand on melting, increases by the increase in pressure.
