I think B is the most correct, because logically it's harder to bend a stiffer spring than it is to bend a softer one. Also, I don't think length comes into play. So B.

Answer:

B. The stiffer the spring, the greater the force required to restore its position.

Explanation:

The 'restoring force' (the force required to restore the position of a spring) is given by:

$F=-kx$

where

F is the restoring force

k is the spring constant, which determines its stiffness (the higher the value of k, the stiffer the spring)

x is the displacement of the spring relative to its natural length

From the formula, we see that the higher the value of k (so, the stiffer the spring), the larger the restoring force, so the correct option is

B. The stiffer the spring, the greater the force required to restore its position

Correct answer choice is :

C) The freezing and melting temperatures of a substance are the same.

Explanation:

Fluids have a particular temperature at which they convert into solids, identified as their freezing point. In theory, the melting point of a solid should be the same as the freezing point of the liquid. In practice, small variations among these measures can be seen. The freezing point of a matter is the same as that substance's melting point. At this distinct temperature, the substance can exist as either a solid or a liquid. At temperatures below the freezing/ melting point, the substance is a solid.
