    The correct answer is option B) high specific heat.

    Explanation:

    Water is present all over the globe and covered the whole earth. The specific heat of the water is the highest of any other liquid. Specific heat is the amount of heat, must be absorbed or removed by the one gram of a substance to 1 degree Celsius change in temperature.

    The specific heat of the water plays an important role as it can absorb a lot of heat without a significant increase in the temperature.

    Thus, the correct answer is option - B) high specific heat.
