Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
When a glass of water is held in the refrigerator then kinetic energy of water molecules starts to decrease as there is less temperature in the freezer.
As a result, the water starts to convert into ice because kinetic energy of water molecules converts into potential energy.
Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, the property ice has a lower freezing point than liquid water best explains why ice forms on its surface.
