The property of water which would be most important in protecting a fish in a shallow pond on a hot summer day are C. water's strong forces of cohesion.

A is incorrect because water is not solid during summer. D is also incorrect because solvency refers to it being able to dissolve. Adhesion has to do with water being attracted to other substances, so B is also incorrect.
