Use the additional information to answer this question.The density of water is greater at 4
A
high melting and boiling points of water.
B
structure of water, which includes its polarity and hydrogen bonds.
C
ionic bonds between hydrogen and oxygen and the non-polar nature of the water molecule.
D
ability of water to transfer large amounts of heat from the equatorial regions to the Poles.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Because ice is less dense than water, it is able to float at the surface of water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The four unique properties of water that make it unique are high specific heat, high polarity, adhesion cohesion, and a lower density as a solid. Water having a high specific heat allows it to absorb heat energy without a subsequent change in temperature.

Detailed explanation-3: -What are the 5 properties of water? The properties of water include cohesion, adhesion, capillary action, surface tension, the ability to dissolve many substances, and high specific heat. The tendency for water molecules to form weak bonds and stick to each other is called cohesion.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cohesion: Water is attracted to water, and Adhesion: Water is attracted to other substances.
