A jug is filled to the brim with water at 0°C. A piece of ice floats in it. The moment the ice melts,
water level decrease
water level is unchanged
water spills out of the jug
water level increases
B
The water level remains the same when the ice cube melts. A floating object displaces an amount of water equal to its own weight. As long as objects are floating (i.e. they don’t rest on the bottom) they displace enough water to support their mass. Since by turning from solid to liquid, the mass of water does not change, it will keep displacing the same amount of water. However, note that this may not apply to everything. If you had solid alcohol floating in water, when it melts, the level would drop, because water and alcohol mix at the molecular level; i.e. water filling spaces among alcohol molecules

Euphenics literally means normal appearing. It aims to improve the
outcome of a genetic disease by altering the environment. It is not
about improving future generations but about improving the current one.
It is a method for improving the biological characteristicss of a person
without touching their genetic characteristics. Hence, (a) is the
closest one.
euphenicsEuphenics, which literally means "good appearance" or "normal appearing", is the science of making phenotypic improvements to humans after birth
eu•gen•icsThe science of improving a human population by
controlled breeding to increase the occurrence of desirable heritable
characteristics. Developed largely by Francis Galton as a method of
improving the human race, it fell into disfavor only after the
perversion of its doctrines by the Nazis.
