Solution

The correct option is A True
Yes, the statement is true.
Most of liquids have quite similar behaviour as of water when are cooled (at fixed pressure); they shrink. The liquid contracts as it cools; because the movement of molecules is slowed down they are less able to overcome the attractive intermolecular forces drawing them closer to each other. And the freezing temperature is reached.
