Fish and other aquatic creatures can live inside a deep frozen pond because

A. Fish are cold-blooded animals

B. Ice is a bad conductor of heat

C. There will always be water just beneath the ice level

D. They can adapt themselves to live in ice

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

All liquids have a boiling point and a freezing point. Underneath the frozen upper layer, the water remains in its liquid form and does not freeze. Also, oxygen is trapped beneath the layer of ice. As a result, fish and other aquatic animals find it possible to live comfortably in the frozen lakes and ponds.
