If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.

(A) According to the Clausius-Clapeyron equation,the slope of the melting curve is given by $\frac{dP}{dT} = \frac{L}{T(V_2 - V_1)}$,where $L$ is the latent heat of fusion,$T$ is the temperature,$V_2$ is the volume of the liquid phase,and $V_1$ is the volume of the solid phase. For water,ice contracts upon melting,meaning the volume of water $(V_2)$ is less than the volume of ice $(V_1)$. Therefore,$(V_2 - V_1) Thus,both the Assertion and the Reason are correct,and the Reason is the correct explanation for the Assertion.

During summers in India,one of the common practices to keep cool is to make ice balls of crushed ice,dip them in flavoured sugar syrup,and sip them. For this,a stick is inserted into crushed ice,and it is squeezed in the palm to make it into a ball. Equivalently in winter,in those areas where it snows,people make snowballs and throw them around. Explain the formation of a ball out of crushed ice or snow in the light of the $p-T$ diagram of water.
