Solution

The correct option is B decrease
Ice has a high latent heat of fusion, i.e. a large amount of heat is required to melt the ice of a frozen lake. So, when the ice starts to melt, it draws the heat from its surroundings to change its state from solid to liquid. As a result, the temperature of the surroundings drops.
