Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the temperatures of the water in the four containers, Jon can infer:

B. Only one of the containers has solid water in it.

The temperature of water changes from liquid to solid at 0°C. If a container of water has a temperature of 0°C, it means that it has reached the freezing point and has become solid. So, in this case, only one container has solid water in it. The other three containers have temperatures above 0°C, indicating that they contain liquid water.
