- 12
- 20
- 9
- 5
Correct Answer

A. 9

Explanation

Water expands by approximately 9% when it freezes. This is due to the unique structure of water molecules. As water cools, the molecules slow down and form a crystal lattice structure. In this structure, the molecules are spaced further apart than in their liquid state, causing the expansion. This expansion is why ice is less dense than liquid water, allowing it to float.
