Answer:

1. Specific Heat

Step-by-step explanation:

Water has the capacity to regulate the internal temperature of the body in response to the external temperature. Sweat is the main means by which water prevents the human body overheating when the temperature outside it is very high. The evaporation of sweat brings a loss of calories, in the form of heat.
