Ice formed on the leading edge will cause the aircraft to
- stall at a higher speed.
- stall at a lower speed.
- stall at the normal stall speed and AOA.
Explanation
Ice on the leading edge disrupts the smooth airflow and reduces the maximum lift coefficient, so the wing reaches its critical angle and stalls at a lower angle of attack. Because less lift is available, the stall occurs at a higher airspeed than for the clean wing.

Why?

Hey.
Because aerodynamic properties of the wing becomes worse.
BTW, what in your opinion is better:
1) aircraft stall speed is 100 knots
2) aircraft stall speed is 150 knots
?
