Solution

The correct option is C 4oC
It depends upon a number of factors like- how deep is the lake, how long has the temperature been at 2C, is there any movement in the water, are there any streams entering or leaving the lake .
For deep lakes with no heat sources and no movement, the temperature at the bottom will be 3.98C, because water at that temperature is at its most dense.
