The correct answer is: There is extensive intramolecular hydrogen bonding in the condensed phase
(i) Ice formed by heavy water sinks in normal water due to higher density of D2O than normal water

(ii) 6CO2+6H2OhvchlorophyllC6H12O6+6O2

(iii) Water can show amphiprotic nature and hence water can act both as an acid a base

(iv) There is extensive intermolecular hydrogen bonding in the condensed phase instead of intramolecular H-bonding
