  B) macrocrystals instead of microcrystals are formed during the freezing of ocean water.
  C) As the water cools, the salt ions in the ocean water pull the molecules closer together.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
