Answer:

B) is greater in cool liquid water than in warm liquid water.

Step-by-step explanation:

The solubility of oxygen in water is more in cold water in comparison to warm water.

The solubility of oxygen in water depends on the temperature as in warm water, more oxygen is released while in cold water, less oxygen is released and more oxygen get dissolved.

Hence, the correct option is "B".
