C i think

When water freezes, it expands as it becomes ice. This is because the particles are vibrating and bouncing around much faster, and keep a large space between them so they don't collide. Knowing this, what do you think the answer is?

C is not it, because the space between them still exists, although they are more free to move, which makes water difficult to hold or control. And A is also not it, since the space between them does not decrease.

And D is also wrong, because in solid water they $\cal\small{are}$ polar, since they fall in a specific pattern.
