Pressure increase freezing point decrease so that when pressure increase rapidly ice melt.

According to Le Chatelier principle, the system will react in such a way that it minimizes the effect of deviation from equilibrium. Since, ice has the more volume than water equilibrium shifts towards water (less volume) side hereby, minimizing the effect of pressure and regaining a new equilibrium.

Agreed @Vijay Parmar.

As we increase the pressure (Above 1 atm).

The freezing point of water gets reduced below 0 degrees Celcius (at 1 atm).
So the temperature now the system poses is a higher one than a freezing point of Water.
It makes more water to form, by melting of ICE.

As per Gay-Lussac's law "Pressure is directly proportional to temperature". Temperature is increasing while increasing pressure and so more water is formed.

Evaporation is from liquid to gas.

I don't understand., when we try to solve this problem according to the Pressure-temperature diagram for a pure material the ice should sublime.

So think that answer should be D.

Can anyone help me with that.

Since ice is low density compared to water it will take more space than water hence more pressure will be imparted to the system hence according to le chatelier principle the pressure should be reduced.
