    Water

    Explanation:

    Given the specific heat of oxygen is 918J/kg°C and the specific heat of water is 4181 J/kg°C.

    Consider 1Kg mass of each substance.

    Now 1 Kg of oxygen needs 918 J of energy to raise its temperature by 1°C

    Also 1 Kg of water needs 4181 J of energy to raise its temperature by 1°C.

    Clearly water recquires more energy when compared to oxygen.

    Basically specific heat capacity is the amount of energy recquired to raise the temperature of a 1 kg body by 1°C.
