    b. Water to store large amounts of heat energy

    Explanation:

    The high heat capacity of the water is the property of water which is caused by the hydrogen bonding in between the molecules of water. When the heat energy is absorbed, these bonds between the molecules are broken and the water molecules move freely.

    Thus, water store a large amount of heat energy which corresponds to high heat capacity.
