by 'the law of non-compress ability of liquid' a liquid can neither be compressed nor be expanded.

Between 3'C and 0'C water does expand with a decrease in temperature. Water at 3'C is the densest; water at 0'C is the lightest.

This is the only interval for Ice I on which it expands with decreasing temperature.

Most substances do not expand when frozen, and this likely includes pure oil. If the oil contains water, it will experience some expansion. Other elements that expand on freezing are silicon, antimony, bismuth, and gallium.

No, oil does not expand when it freezes. There is no water included in oil, therefor it does not expand.

Yes, water does expand when it is frozen. That is why so many water pipes bust during the winter

Yes, the water does expand. Because it expands, it becomes less dense. That is why ice cubes float.
