ANSWER:-
Water achieves its maximum density at roughly 4°C. That is, water (including ice) at all other temperatures below or above 4°C is less dense. Since matter is ordered from top to bottom by increasing density, any 4°C water in a lake will be found at the bottom

The surface of the lake is at 2 degrees Celsius. The temperature of the bottom of the lake shall be 4 °C. This is described below.
- Firstly, it must be known that in a lake, or a water body, the densest, heavier layer of the water sinks at the bottom while the density of the water will decrease when going upwards from the bottom to the top.
- Now, the density of the water is maximum at a temperature of 4 °C.
- As the densest water will be at the bottom, so, the temperature of the bottom of the lake will be 4 °C.
