Why water particles at zero degree centigrade have more energy than ice particles at the same temperature?

A. During the process of conversion of ice from ice to liquid water, water absorbs energy in it

B. Because during the process of conversion from ice to water vapour, water absorbs energy in it

C. Because during the process of conversion from ice to liquid water, water radiates energy in it

D. Because during the process of conversion from ice to liquid water, ice particles absorb heat energy in it
