Answer:
(A)
Explanation:
Among the following options Alpha (A) is correct because the specific heat capacity of water is very large and it can absorb large amount of heat before raising it's temperature. Charlie option (C) seems to be right but we know that below freezing point water is in the form of ice and we see that ice floats on water, so the density of ice is less than water and it can't be larger than water otherwise the ice would have sink into the water. Hope you got the answer.
