Assuming that all other factors are equal, on a cold winter afternoon the amount of dissolved O2 in a lake will be

A) more than on a hot day because the decreased energy in colder water makes O2 molecules less likely to escape to the atmosphere, and biological oxygen demand will be higher than on a hot day.
B) less than on a hot day because the decreased energy in colder water makes O2 molecules more likely to escape to the atmosphere, and biological oxygen demand will be higher than on a hot day.
C) more than on a hot day because the decreased energy in colder water makes O2 molecules less likely to escape to the atmosphere, and biological oxygen demand will be lower than on a hot day.
