Which of the following descriptions explain the process of water freezing?

AWhat're molecules speed up until the escape into a different phase.
BWater molecules slow done until they begin to form stronger bonds together.
CAs water molecules cool, their shape changes from rounded to irregular, making them more likely to link to one another

D.Water molecules are squeezed together by high pressure until they begin to stick to one another.

The process of freezing occurs when B) water molecules slow down until they begin to form stronger bonds together. These stronger bonds eventually turn the water molecules into a solid formation.

The correct option is B.

When the temperature of water is reduced, the water cools down and the molecules of the water lose energy and move slowly. As the water is cooling down its volume expands. When the temperature of the water reaches zero degree Celsius, the molecules of the water stick together and form solid ice, thus turning from a liquid state to a solid state.
