B, cold with a high salt content, I believe. Since density is mass divided by volume, adding salt would increase mass. Temperature is related to kinetic energy and the distance between molecules/atoms of a substance. The hotter the substance, the more distance there is between particles. Generally cold water is more dense. Hope i helped :D
