Liquid ice, or "ice VII," is denser than regular ice because of hydrogen bonding. In regular ice (ice Ih), the water molecules are arranged in a hexagonal lattice, which creates more open space and thus makes it less dense. However, in liquid ice (ice VII), the arrangement of water molecules allows for more efficient packing and denser structures due to different hydrogen bonding configurations.

So the correct answer is:
B) Hydrogen bonding
