The correct answer is: Water overflows either when heated above $4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ or cooled below $4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$.
The density of water is maximum at $4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. As the temperature increases or decreases, the density of water decreases, which increases its volume. Hence, water overflows either when heated about $4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ or cooled below $4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$.
