Answer:

B. Water expands when it freezes, so solid water is less dense than liquid water

Explanation:

The molecules of water expands or increases in volume when it is freezed i.e. at a low temperature. This allows the solid state of water (ice) to be less dense than the liquid state (water). Hence, because ice is less dense than water, IT FLOATS. Therefore, in a water body whose temperature is low, the ice component floats on the surface, with liquid water beneath.

Due to this DENSITY property of ice (low) and water, aquatic organisms like fishes are able to survive and live just fine beneath a water body covered with ice. Note that, oxygen is trapped in the liquid portion of the water body underneath the ice covering.
