The correct answer is: $10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
Let the final temperature of mixture be $T$.
Heat absorbed by ice $=$ heat lost by water
$\therefore m L+m c(T-0)=m c(100-T)$
Substituting values,
$\begin{aligned} & \therefore \quad(100 \times 80)+(100 \times 1) T=100 \times 1(100-T) \\ & 8000+100 T=10000-100 T \\ & 200 T=2000 \\ & T=10^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \\ & \end{aligned}$
