- AThe mean inter-molecular potential energies are the same for both the ice molecules and the water molecules.
- BThe mean inter-molecular separations are the same for both the ice and the water.
- CThe mean kinetic energies are the same for both the ice molecules and the water molecules.
- DThe mean total energies are the same for both the ice molecules and the water molecules.
