Final answer:

The lead sphere settles faster due to its higher density compared to the glass sphere.


Explanation:

The statement that best explains why the lead sphere settles faster is:

  1. A) The lead sphere has a higher density.
    Because density is mass per unit volume, the lead sphere, having a higher density than the glass sphere, will sink faster in water since it weighs more per unit volume.
