Does water not have anomalous expansion?

Explanation:

The anomalous expansion of water is an abnormal property of water whereby it expands instead of contracting when the temperature goes from 4o C to 0o C, and it becomes less dense. ... The density becomes less and less as it freezes because molecules of water normally form open crystal structures when in solid form.

here we know that ball will drop down by total distance 3.2 m

so here we know that

now using kinematics

now in the same time it will cover horizontal distance of 0.75 m

so speed of the ball will be

i think the answer is a, hope this : )
