Water never has an absolute density because its density varies with temperature. Water has its maximum density of 1g/cm3 at 4 degrees Celsius. When the temperature changes from either greater or less than 4 degrees, the density will become less than 1 g/cm3. Water has the maximum density of 1 g/cm3 only when it is pure water.
Correct Option: B

A television channel is a physical or virtual channel over which a television station or television network is distributed. Channel numbers represent actual frequencies used to broadcast the television signal. For example, in North America, “channel 2” refers to the broadcast or cable band of 54 to 60 MHz, with carrier frequencies of 55.25 MHz for NTSC analog video (VSB) and 59.75 MHz for analog audio (FM), or 55.31 MHz for digital ATSC (8VSB).

Elasticity is the capability of an object to return to its former shape once a load inducing strain is removed. Young Modulus or elastic modulus [tendency to be deformed elastically (i.e., non-permanently) when a force is applied to it]of steel is more than that of rubber.
