Which outcome occurs when continuously increasing pressure on water initially at its triple point?

A)Sublimation directly to vapor occurs
B)Solid ice and liquid water form
C)Temperature rapidly increases above 273K
D)Supercritical fluid state transformation

💡 Explanation

When pressure increases on water at the triple point, the phase equilibrium shifts because of Le Chatelier's principle favoring the denser phase leading to fusion and forming ice and water. Therefore, solid ice and liquid water result, rather than sublimation, heating or supercritical states which require different temperature conditions in addition to significant pressure.
