    The freezing point of the liquid decreases when pressure is increased, if the liquid           [DCE 1995]

    A)            Expands while freezing

    B)            Contracts while freezing

    C)            Does not change in volume while freezing

    D)            None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :
