The answer is

C) high specific heat

Step-by-step explanation:

Water's high heat capacity is a characteristic produced by hydrogen bonding between water molecules. Specific heat is determined as the quantity of heat one gram of a substance need to absorb or lose to substitute its temperature by one degree Celsius. For water, this amount is one calorie or 4.184 Joules
