Answer:

F. Bathtub; has higher temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

The specific heat depends on each substance, in this case, both the bathtub and the Arctic Ocean have water, so they have the same substance and the same specific heat.

So, the option that has more heat is the bathtub, because it has higher temperature.
