    The required "option is b) hydrogen bonds must be broken to raise its temperature.

    Explanation:

    Water has high specific heat due to hydrogen bonds present in it. The Ionisation of water does not affect the specific heat of the water. On decreasing the temperature, there is the formation of bonds hence option (d) is wrong. On increasing the temperature, there is the breaking of bonds hence option (b) is correct.
