Solution

The correct option is B $4^{o} C$
Due to anomalous expansion of water the density of water is not same at all temperatures. When water is cooled from room temperature it first contracts in volume and becomes increasingly dense as do other liquids but at $4^{o} C$ water reaches maximum density.
