Correct Answer: Does not change


Solution : The correct option is Does not change.

The weight of the displaced water is the same as the weight of the floating ice. When the ice melts, the amount of water created by the melting ice equals the amount of water that the ice cube displaces. Thus, there is no change in the water's level.
