Solution

The correct option is B exist together in
Option A is the correct answer because according to the statement about ice abswater, such a fact is stated in the present tense in general, hence it is correct to say that when they ‘exist together in’ the same volume, as the substances can occur “in” a particular state of matter, and not “on”.
Option B is incorrect because the statement is meant to be in the present, while the option is in the future tense.
Option C Ian incorrect because it is past tense while statement is a fact and so should be in present.
