Water exhibits a charateristic different from other liquids
i.e liquids expand when heated and contracts when cooled
Now water instead contracts when heated from 0°c to 4°c therefore the surface of the water body frezes while below the surface remains at 4°c so aquatic lives can survive

The anomalous expansion of water is a unique property of water. Water expands instead of contracting when the temperature goes from 4

C to 0

C, and it becomes less dense. This is because of formation of cage like structure which has hollow pores in between.

i disagree with the option chosen by my school app



Water contract from 0° to 4°
while from 4° water expand

and if anyone's think am wrong... kindly reply me with a proof
