Solids will usually sink when placed in their own liquids. Which is an exception?

Answer
A
carbon dioxide
B
baking soda
C
steel
D
water

Most solids are denser than their liquid forms, so they sink. Water is an exception: when it freezes, it expands and becomes less dense than liquid water, so ice floats. Therefore, the correct choice is water.
