Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The resistance to sudden temperature changes makes water an excellent habitat, allowing organisms to survive without experiencing wide temperature fluctuation. Furthermore, because many organisms are mainly composed of water, the property of high heat capacity allows highly regulated internal body temperatures.

I'm pretty sure it's B . If I'm not I'm very sorry as I copied this from my textbook .
