Which of the following explains how aquatic animals in the Arctic and Antarctic survive at subzero temperatures?

Ice has a higher density than water, allowing it to float on top.

Water freezes from bottom upward, forming an insulating layer of ice at the bottom.

Water expands on cooling below 4 °C, increasing in volume until it reaches 0 °C.

The low specific heat of water lets it cool down slowly, allowing aquatic animals to survive.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Water freezes from the TOP DOWN. An example can be when you take the ice thingy container and when you pour water into it to form an ice cube for your drink leave it for a couple of minutes, it’ll freeze from the top and it can be easily break when u compress on it by your finger.

A is possible. But, it’s wrong.

In addition, the density of water is more than ice. Which allows the ice float ontop of the water.

Option B is incorrect.

When liquid water is cooled, it contracts like one would expect until a temperature of approximately 4 degrees Celsius is reached. After that, it expands slightly until it reaches the freezing point, and then when it freezes it expands. (When water reaches 0 °C it turns into an ice cube so, the ice cube has a higher volume than water)

C is possible, too.

D is wrong.
