Solution

The correct option is B False
Water has a unique property of anomalous expansion. When water is heated from 0oC to 4oC it contracts continuously instead of expanding. That means its volume decreases upto 4oC. When water heated from 4oC its expansion becomes normal like the expansion of other liquids.
