B)water would melt much more readily than it now does.
C)Earth's water bodies might freeze because,once frozen,the ice would not melt as easily.

If the heat of fusion and the heat of vaporization were reversed, it would mean that it would require more energy to melt ice and less energy to vaporize water. Therefore, once the Earth's water bodies froze, the ice would not melt as easily, causing them to remain frozen for longer periods of time and potentially leading to the freezing of Earth's water bodies.
