Answer:

Water at 4 degrees centigrade has the highest density and lowest volume

Explanation:

When oceans freeze, only the upper layer freezes to ice because water above 4 degrees and freezing point are less dense. This means ice sheets float on cold water and also insulate  the water underneath from fast heat loss. This how the water beneath remains liquid and supports aquatic life even in temperatures below freezing on adjacent land.
