Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of melting/freezing point: The melting point is the temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid, and the freezing point is the temperature at which a liquid becomes a solid. For water, these points are the same under standard atmospheric pressure.

Recall the melting/freezing point of water in Celsius: Water freezes and melts at 0°C under standard conditions.

Convert Celsius to Kelvin: The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale where 0 K is absolute zero. To convert Celsius to Kelvin, use the formula:

K = C + 273.15

Apply the conversion to the melting/freezing point of water: Substitute 0°C into the conversion formula:

0 + 273.15 = 273.15 K

Identify the correct answer from the options: Compare the calculated Kelvin value with the given options to determine the correct melting/freezing point of water in Kelvin.
