A large iceberg melts at the base, but not at the top, because of the reason that

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option B
We can say by Le Chatelier's principle on increasing the pressure the system will react in an way to minimize the effect( the volume decreases) so, generally substances tend to form solid but in case of water the as the liquid occupies less volume than solid the high pressure tends to form liquid (melting).
