Solution

The correct option is A True
  • When freezing, the interspatial distance between the water molecules decreases and thus it becomes into solid state
  • If we add more impurities, it occupies the space between the molecules
  • Thus less temperature is required to bring the liquid particle to come closer.
  • Thus presence of impurities lowers the freezing point of water
