A glass vessel is filled with water up to the brin and a lid is fixed to it tightly. Then it is kept inside a freezer for hours. What is expected to happen?

The water freezes to ice and the level of ice comes down

The water in the glass vessel summer freezes to ice

The glass vessel breaks due to expansion as water freezes to ice

The water does not freeze at all

Explanation:

Water shows anomalous behaviour in expansion during temperature range of 4°C to 0°C. When temperature falls below 4°C, water expands. As lid is fixed tightly, stress will develop in the bottle due to this anomalous expansion which breaks the glass when water is converted into ice that is volume is maximum.
