Step-by-step explanation:

When water is heated from 0°C to 4°C, its volume decreases because its density increases and you can see this effect up to 4°C. Because the density of ice is maximum at 4 °C.

In other words, water heated from 0°C to 4°C, contracts continuously instead of expanding. It means its volume decreases up to 4°C.
