Answer : Ice at 0° C.

Explanation : The statement that most of the substances becomes less dense as the temperature increases is not true for ice.

As when the temperature increases the ice melts into liquid which is found to be more denser than ice. The mass is observed to be the same, but the volume decreases as the melting process occurs.
