MySchool, kindly edit the options. The correct option is truly "water unevenly expands between 0 degrees to 4 degrees celcius", which is the anomalous expansion of water

The correct answer is:

A. expands unevenly between 0°C and 40°C

Here’s the reasoning:

Water has an anomalous expansion property. Between 0°C and 4°C, it contracts instead of expanding, and then beyond 4°C it expands normally.

This irregular behavior makes water unsuitable as a thermometric liquid, because a good thermometric liquid should expand uniformly with temperature for accurate measurement.
