The answer is A. The melting and freezing points of a substance are the same. The only difference between melting and freezing is the order in which they occur. Melting starts with a solid and changes into a liquid. Freezing starts with a liquid and changes into a solid. Think of water. At 0 degrees celsius and if the temperature was decreasing before, it would freeze. At 0 degrees celsius and the temperature was increasing before, it would melt. Look at a heating/cooling curve, the straight lines are the transition points. On a heating curve, the first straight line is for melting. On a cooling curve, the last straight line is for freezing. They both occur at the same temperature.
Hope this helped!
