Answer:
a. Freshwater is most dense at 4 oC but the density of seawater continues to increase until it reaches its freezing point.
Explanation: Freshwater freezes at 320 F and sea water freezes at 28.40 F. Both has different freezing points. Sea water has more density than fresh water. Ice has less density than sea water and fresh water.
