Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Ice is the solid form of water, and its density is less than the density of water. This is the reason why ice floats on water.

Density of water is more and ice is less so ice floats on water. This property of  ice helps the plants and animals living in the colder regions.

This is the reason why the water beneath ice has optimum temperature and plants and animals live inside it without being freezed.

How can droughts lead to poverty and conflicts? Explain.
netineya [11]

Changing temperatures and rain patterns, particularly droughts, have detrimental effects on farmers and can cause food insecurity. Unfavorable weather can lower crop yields and decimate livestock. This means that income goes down for farmers and their families, sending people further into poverty. Drought can also affect people's health and safety. Examples of drought impacts on society include anxiety or depression about economic losses, conflicts when there is not enough water, reduced incomes, fewer recreational activities, higher incidents of heat stroke, and even loss of human life.
