Which sentence correctly demonstrates the zero conditional, used to express a general truth or scientific fact?
AIf you heat water, it boiled.
BIf you heat water, it will boil.
CIf you heat water, it boils.
DIf you heated water, it boils.
Explanation
The zero conditional uses the present simple tense in both the ‘if’ clause and the main clause to express something that is always or generally true, such as a scientific fact, giving ‘If you heat water, it boils.’ This differs from the first conditional, which uses ‘will’ in the main clause to describe a specific, likely future result rather than a universally true fact.
