Draven Patel · Answer 1

B) the temperature of liquid water rises and falls slowly.

Explanation:

The specific heat of water is very high so for a given gain of heat, water will gain relatively less temperature. So it will not warm up easily and as a result of it, it will remain cool in spite of surrounding remaining warm. Water has therefore great moderating effect.
