The top of a lake gets frozen at a place where the surrounding air is at a temperature of $-20\,^oC$. Then

  • A

    The temperature of the layer of water in contact with the lower surface of the ice block will be at $0\,^oC$ and that at the bottom of the lake will be $4\,^oC$

  • B

    The temperature of water below the lower surface of ice will be $4\,^oC$ right up to the bottom of the lake

  • C

    The temperature of the water below the lower surface of ice will be $0\,^oC$ right up to the bottom of the lake

  • D

    The temperature of the layer of water immediately in contact with the lower surface of ice will be about $-20\,^oC$ and that of water at the bottom will be $0\,^oC$
