b. there is less surface area of the crushed ice in contact with the air
c. the crushed ice has a higher temperature

The correct answer is a. There is more surface area, which causes more of the ice to be melting at the same time. Ice in the center that is not exposed to the warmer air does not melt as fast.

Crushed ice melts faster because more warm air comes in contact with the ice. I have no preference.

the crushed ice has more surface area for heat to flow into it, and will therefore heat up faster.

And lets not forget the boiling hot cup of tea that you put the ice into to get iced tea
