Liquid contraction at a particular temperature means decrease in vapour pressure, which leads to an increase in the freezing point. Also, generally the freezing point of a liquid increases when pressure is increased. So, if the liquid expands considerably, then the freezing point of it decreases when the pressure is increased.

Ans: B.
(1)

Answer B is correct, because when we freeze the liquid water to ice, in this process volume increase so we can say that it expand and we know that dP/dT=- (dS/dV).

Hello folks! From the P-T graph of any substance you can easily see that answer should be B.

As per my knowledge, water is the exception most of the liquid contacts when they freeze.
