When we place ice on water it floats, but if we place a piece of solid wax in a container of liquid wax it sinks. This observation is best explained by which of the following statements? (A) Floating of ice on water is due to the anomalous expansion of water near freezing point (B) Sinking of solid wax is an anomaly (C) Density of ice is less than that of liquid water (D) Density of solid wax is less than that of liquid wax
