What is ice?
A
Solid
B
Liquid
C
Gas
D
Plasma
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ice is water in its frozen, solid form. Ice often forms on lakes, rivers and the ocean in cold weather. It can be very thick or very thin. It occurs as frost, snow, sleet and hail.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ice (solid) Ice is water in its solid form. Ice keeps its shape, even if it’s removed from the container.

Detailed explanation-3: -In ice crystals, their hydrogen bonds link them together like acrobats, stacked one on top of the other, with their arms and legs outstretched. This provides more space between the molecules in the crystal structure of ice than the molecules of liquid water. As a result, ice is less dense than the liquid form.

Detailed explanation-4: -At temperatures below 32°F (0°C), liquid water freezes; 32°F (0°C) is the freezing point of water. At temperatures above 32°F (0°C), pure water ice melts and changes state from a solid to a liquid (water); 32°F (0°C) is the melting point.
