Both the freezing temperature and the melting temperature of water are the same o. c. explain why a substance like water freezes at the same temperature.

Because the melting/freezing point is the point at which the particles in a substance begin to go through the phase change
so for example at 0 degree's Celsius water starts to freeze, but at the same time also melts, its sorta like some of the particles are freezing while the others are melting at the same time, but if you go above 0 degrees then it melts, and if you go below it freezes
