Based on the information, which statement indicates where and why Allan would find the most fish?

Temperature affects how well gases and solids dissolve to form solutions. Gas solubility increases with decreasing temperature. Cold water can hold more oxygen than warm water.

Fish require dissolved oxygen in the water for respiration. During the hot summer, Allan goes fishing at a nearby lake.

Based on the information, which statement indicates where and why Allan would find the most fish?
A . shady areas because there is less dissolved oxygen gas in cool water
B . sunny areas because there is no dissolved oxygen gas in warm water
C . shady areas because there is more dissolved oxygen gas in cool water
D . sunny areas because there is more dissolved oxygen gas in warm water
E . both shady and sunny areas because the amount of dissolved oxygen gas in water is not changed by temperature
