The correct answer should be option A.
'IV' is not true because temperature does not rise during melting, but remains constant.

The answer should be A

the correct answer is A option iv is wrong as temperature remains constant during melting

With the options there, none of the answers is correct. From the Question, option A is II and III and not I and III.
Also option D is II, III and IV and not II and IV.

I suggest the option should be updated rightly.
Thank you.

The answer is wrong it's meant to be option A

The answer is meant to be constant temperature at melting point and increase in temperature before melting begins as the temperature of a pure solid at it’s melting point doesn’t increase because all the heat is absorbed to break intermolecular bonds.
I hope this is rectified quickly, Thanks 😊
