Which of the following best describes why ice has a lower density than liquid water?

Choose 1

(Choice A)

There is more space between individual atoms at lower temperatures, which means colder water has a lower density.

(Choice B)

The water molecules have less atomic motion than ice.

(Choice C)

Hydrogen bonding causes water to crystallize with more empty space between molecules than in the liquid state.

(Choice D)

Because water changes from its polar form as a liquid to its nonpolar form as a solid.
