The density of water is maximum at 4 °C. At this temperature, water molecules are packed closely together due to hydrogen bonding, resulting in the highest density. Both higher and lower temperatures cause the density of water to decrease.

  1. The density of water is maximum at 4 °C (A). At this temperature, water molecules arrange themselves in a highly ordered structure due to hydrogen bonding. This arrangement allows for the closest packing of molecules, resulting in the highest density. As the temperature deviates from 4 °C, the density of water decreases. Options (B), (C), and (D) are incorrect. Kelvin temperature (K) is an absolute scale, where 4 K is equivalent to -269.15 °C, far below the maximum density temperature of water. Fahrenheit temperature (°F) is a different scale, not relevant to the maximum density of water. Option (D) represents a negative temperature, which is not meaningful in this context. Therefore, the correct option is (A) 4 °C, as it corresponds to the temperature at which water exhibits its maximum density due to the specific arrangement of its molecules.
