A. false. Colder water sinks because its denser. It's particles are closer together due to the temperature.
B. True. Liquids of higher density sink.
C. False. Seawater is denser than freshwater due to the salt particles in it
D. False. The higher the salinity, the higher the density. High salinity means there's more salt mixed into a specified volume. The more particles in a specified volume, the higher the density.

The reason that the water sinks is : ( B ) Denser water sinks below less dense water

Water density

The denser a water body becomes the more likely it will sink also the increase in solute content ( salinity ) a water contains, the denser the water becomes.

Therefore a water of high salinity will be more dense than a water with low salinity because of the increased amount of solute it contains.

Hence we can conclude that the reason that the water sinks is Denser water sinks below less dense water.
