The correct statement is: **All of the particles will have the same kinetic energy, but the particles in the water will have more potential energy.**

In this scenario, both the ice and water are at the same temperature, meaning the average kinetic energy of the particles in both states is the same. However, the arrangement of particles differs between solid (ice) and liquid (water). The water molecules have more potential energy because they are in a less ordered state compared to the more structured arrangement of particles in ice.
