The answer is increase in the volume if water.This causes d bottle to crack because there is not enough space for d water's expansion
Option c would hv been the correct answer if ut had talked about expansion of water not bottle
The water is expanding not the water
Answer: option A=increase in the volume of water
Explanation:
Due to water's polar nature, the water molecules move away from each other as temperature goes down. This causes the water to expand and take up more volume. Because water is very incompressible, the bottle cracks, or the cap pops off, depending on the strength of the bottle material.
Water is an unique liquid in the universe which solid form ice floats over its liquid surface . The effective density of ice is more than that of liquid water. When water gets solidified to form ice it is arranged in a tetrahedral open cage like structure geometrically. A water molecule ( which central atom oxygen is sp3 hybridised with 2 pairs of electron as loan pair and the bond angle is 104 degree 5 minutes) forms four inter molecular hydrogen bond so that the effective volume increases i.e. anomalous expansion and hence glass bottle filled with water breaks (no expansion in the volume of glass bottle) when water freezes.
its actually expansion of the bottle, because when water freezes,it takes up more space than it did in its liquid form and this increase puts pressure on the walls of the container causing it to crack
The answer is A
for a bottle containing water in a freeze, 2 thins are happening simultaneously
1.The volume of water is expanding (N.B water expands on freezing)
2.The bottle is contracting e.g (volume of the bottle is reducing.
Eventually the bottle cracks but ask yourself this question
Did the bottle crack because it was contracting (i am sure your answer is NO
)
THE BOTTLE CRACKED BECAUSE THE LIQUID INSIDE IT WAS EXPANDING (OPTION A 
)
If a glass bottle filled with water
breaks when freezing because of
the anomalous expansion of water,
Oga listen when water freezes, the volume decreases, then the density increase leading to the expansion of the water as a result of this expansion the bottle expands and if care is not taken it crakes. so the answer is C
