Solution

The correct option is B Due to high specific latent heat capacity of ice
Ice has a high specific latent heat capacity i.e. $336 J / g$ , it means each one gram of ice requires $336 J$ of heat energy to melt . In their journey to equatorial region (warmer region) , icebergs don't get so much heat , therefore they don't melt completely .
