Step-by-step explanation:

Because melting point and freezing point describe the same transition of matter, in this case from liquid to solid (freezing) or equivalently, from solid to liquid (melting). It is stuck on 0 ∘C during the entire melting or freezing process. None except melting is when you heat up and freezing when you cool down.

hope it helps.
