The correct option is C.

The density of an object refers to its mass per volume. Water and ice have different densities. The differences in their densities is due to the empty spaces which exist in the structure of ice. Because of the empty spaces, the structure of ice occupy more volume than that of water, hence it is less dense than water.

The boiling point of a substance is tested. After 10 tests, the result is given as 37+/−3°C. Which conclusion can be drawn from

kenny6666 [7]

From the data obtained from the tests, the actual boiling point lies between 34°C and 40°C.

The boiling point of a substance is the temperature at which the pressure of the substance becomes equal to atmospheric pressure. Pure substances have a sharp boiling point while impure substances boil over a temperature range.

In this case, the boiling point of the substance after 10 tests is obtained as 37+/−3°C. This implies that the actual boiling point lies between 34°C and 40°C.
