Answer :
To determine at what temperature water freezes, we start by recalling the known physical property of water. Water turns from a liquid to a solid (ice) when the temperature decreases to the freezing point.
In the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point of water is given by
[tex]$$
32^\circ \text{F}.
$$[/tex]
Now, we compare this value to the options provided:
a. [tex]$0^\circ \text{F}$[/tex]
b. [tex]$12^\circ \text{F}$[/tex]
c. [tex]$40^\circ \text{F}$[/tex]
d. [tex]$32^\circ \text{F}$[/tex]
Since the freezing point of water is [tex]$32^\circ \text{F}$[/tex], the correct answer is option d.
