Technically, sea ice is the correct answer. Most glaciologists would be mad that the person asking the question probably had glacier in mind as the correct answer (because a glacier is a mass of re-crystallized *snow*). And although snow can be described as frozen water, thats not how glaciologists would define a glacier.

Iceberg could also be a correct answer because icebergs are merely floating pieces of glaciers. They can deposit boulders on the seafloor, which are known as 'dropstones.' Depending on wind, water current, and their size, they can move very slowly.

Side note--some glaciers can move "fast"--some ice streams move at velocities orders of magnitude faster than the slowest-moving glaciers.
