The water on the surface of a lake is just about to freeze. The most likely temperature at the bottom of the lake is

  1. A \(4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  2. B \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  3. C \(-4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  4. D \(-273^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The water at the bottom of the lake will have maximum density. The density of water is maximum at \(4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Hence, the temperature at the bottom of the lake is \(4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
