Answer : option C) Stays the same.

Explanation : The melting point of a sample will remain the same when the size of the sample increases.

Melting point is a property of a substance which does not changes with the sample size. It does not depends on the size of the sample, it is specific for specific compounds. It depends on intermolecular forces of attraction between the molecules of the substance.
