What is one difference between water and ice?

Answer
A
Ice is more compressed than water.
B
Ice molecules have more charge than water molecules.
C
Water has a lower temperature than ice.
D
Water molecules move more easily than ice molecules.

Explanation

Water is a liquid, so its molecules can move past one another more easily than the molecules in solid ice, which mainly vibrate in fixed positions. Ice is actually less dense than liquid water, and freezing does not give water molecules a different amount of charge.
