Answer:

A) The attractions between the water molecules weaken.

Explanation:

During melting, The attractions between the water molecules weaken. The kinetic energy or "moving energy" increases as the particles are moving more. As the ice melts into liquid water, the molecules are still attracted to each other, but less than in the solid state.

Not much.

Ice is only water, when the molecules are submitted to low temeperatures and have formed a crystalline arrangement of low density. In ice, the molecules arange themselves in hexagons with hydrogen bonds binfing each molecule.

When ice melts it turnes into water and the molecules leave the crystalline shape and come back to their normal density. In water, not all molecules are binded forming short and irregular lines.

→ In the image below, you can see the arrangement of ice and water.
