I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the third option. It is important to keep the ice smooth on a hockey rink so that players can pass a puck as quickly as possible because smooth ice reduces the unbalanced forces that would slow the hockey puck and eventually stop it. Hope this answers the question.
