Select the correct answer.

Why does water heat up and cool down slowly?

O A. Water has a low heat of vaporization

OB. Water has a variable thermal potential

OC. Water has a high specific heat

The heat energy transferred in water is by vibration and motion of water molecules, when water is heated, the external vibration is opposed by the static state of water molecules, this time delay to set up the molecules in water layer by layer, is what creates a time lag, thus resulting in slow hearing of water, and vice-versa
