Which of these helps explain water having a high specific heat?
A) Water contracts as it melts
B) Water has an unusually high boiling point
C) Water is polar so the molecules are held tightly together
D) Water is an in organic molecule so heat does not affect it as quickly

Which of these helps explain water having a high specific heat?

Water is polar so the molecules are held tightly together

Explanation:

Water acquires heat as temperature increases, also because of the presence of hydrogen bond as the temperature decreases.
