Solution

The correct option is B

40 C


Freezing point is defined as the temperature at which a liquid changes into a solid and melting point is defined as the temperature at which a solid melts to form a liquid. The numerical value of freezing point and melting point is same. For example, liquid water gets converted into ice at 0 C and also ice melts into liquid water at 0 C
