Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer

According to Archimedes' principle, ice floats because it displaces a volume of water equal to its mass. When ice melts, it becomes exactly that amount of water, so the total volume remains unchanged and the water level stays the same. This is true regardless of the ice cube's shape or size, as long as it's floating.
