Solution
The correct option is A T, T
Freezing is a process of liquid changing its state to solid. In this process, the water releases heat
to the surroundings, so it is an exothermic process.
When water lose energy, the individual molecules move slower
(decreased kinetic energy). Eventually the water molecules will become locked
in place (freeze) as they maximize the number of hydrogen bonds they form with
other water molecules.
