Assertion (A) : The freezing of sea water during winter does not kill the fishes. 

Reason (R) : Only surface water is frozen.

  • A.Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
  • B.Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
  • C.A is true but R is false.
  • D.A is false but R is true.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Ice forms only at the surface and, being less dense than water, floats there and insulates the water below, which stays liquid at about \( 4^{\circ}\mathrm{C} \). The fish therefore survive beneath it. Both are true and R explains A.
