{'water solidifies': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'ice': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'glass': [0, 0, 1, 4], 'water': [65, 15, 80, 129]}

Option 1: This option states that water does not solidify at 0°C. This statement is incorrect as water does solidify at 0°C. The freezing point of water is 0°C or 32°F.

Option 2: This option states that a certain amount of heat must be supplied to the glass of water in order to solidify. This statement is also incorrect. When water reaches its freezing point, heat is actually released from the water as it changes phase from liquid to solid. Therefore, heat is not being supplied but rather being released from the water.

Option 3: This option states that a certain amount of heat must be taken out from the glass of water in order to solidify. This statement is correct. When water reaches its freezing point, heat needs to be extracted or removed from the water in order to solidify it into ice. This is why lowering the temperature below 0°C causes water to freeze.

Option 4: This option states that water solidifies at 0 K only. This statement is incorrect. Water can solidify at temperatures above 0 K, specifically at 0°C or 32°F.

In conclusion, the correct answer is option 3, which explains that a certain amount of heat must be
