If the heating curve is reversed, it means you are looking at the cooling process instead of heating. In this context, the melting point corresponds to the freezing point, since they refer to the same temperature but under different phase changes (melting is the transition from solid to liquid, while freezing is from liquid to solid).

Therefore, the correct answer to describe the melting point when the heating curve is reversed is:

A. freezing point
