OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

Density is effected by temperature and intermolecular forces, a key word to use if your answering a homework (which by the phrasing of the question i think you are). When you cool water the atoms are slowed down because they've lost energy and so the spaces between the atoms decrease, the density there depends on the temperature.

If I help Medal

helped*

OpenStudy (rissyroo118):

so i believe the correct answer is B

@gabbyalicorn

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

i'd think it was A

i know this is closed but... in my opinion it's D, the two that would affect the density of a population would be disease or competition- ie if theres more animals theyll be fighting over food. density independent factors happen regardless of population density, like a storm could happen no matter what the population is... just my opinion :)
