    Answer: Option D) preventing a lake from freezing solid

    Explanation:

    This is based on the difference in density of water in solid form as against it's liquid form

    Ice, which is water in solid form is less dense to water as liquid water. Hence, ice floats on liquid water, thereby preventing the total freezing of the lake which would lead to death of aquatic organisms living in polar regions
