A Correct answer
Explanation

Part (A) 'you will heat ice' contains an error. In conditional sentences describing scientific facts or general truths, the if-clause should use present simple, not 'will'. The correct form is 'If you heat ice, it will turn to water'. The use of 'will' in the if-clause is grammatically incorrect.
