Which outcome occurs when supercooled liquid reaches temperature below its freezing point threshold?

A)Rapid crystallization from nucleation sites
B)Decreased viscosity due to entropic gains
C)Increased specific heat at constant volume
D)Stable amorphous solid formation

💡 Explanation

When a supercooled liquid reaches its thermodynamic freezing transition, rapid crystallization occurs because nucleation sites spontaneously form followed by crystal growth, releasing latent heat. Therefore rapid crystallization results, rather than changes in viscosity, specific heat, or amorphous solid formation which entail different energy profiles.
