Explanation

Melting ice below 0°C by applying pressure is a spontaneous physical change. 

Physical change:

This is correct because the process only changes the state of water from solid to liquid, without altering its chemical composition. 

Spontaneous:

  • Under the applied pressure, the ice will naturally melt even below 0°C.
  • A spontaneous process occurs without any external energy input.
