Answer: B. Water molecules slow down until they begin to bond together.

Explanation: When water is cooled, energy is removed from the system, and the molecules begin to slow down. When the molecules have slowed suciently, their collisions are no longer energetic enough to overcome their electrostatic attraction, and they begin to bond together. The other answer choices are inaccurate. Since ice is less dense than water, high pressure compresses the ice and actually causes it to melt. (Compression has no effect on water volume.) Cooling has no effect on the shape of individual water molecules.
