None of the above

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Solid water, or ice, is less dense than liquid water. Ice is less dense than water because the orientation of hydrogen bonds causes molecules to push farther apart, which lowers the density.
Detailed explanation-2: -The mass of ice is smaller as compared to that of the liquid water. Hence we can conclude that Ice is less dense than water and hence ice floats on water.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ice is less dense than water (because it has more volume for the same mass), which is why ice floats on water.
