, water is at its freezing/melting point under standard atmospheric pressure (760 mm Hg). However, if the pressure is above 760 mm Hg, the phase of water can be affected. Under higher pressures, the melting point of ice decreases slightly, but more importantly, the boiling point increases significantly. At
and a pressure above 760 mm Hg, water would remain in the liquid phase because the increased pressure prevents it from transitioning into a gas, and it is already at the temperature where it transitions from solid to liquid.Therefore, the correct answer is:Liquid
