Answer:
C. High heat capacity
Explanation:
Water helps maintain temperature of communities close to it. It does this by absorbing heat emanating from the communities around the water bodies such as rivers and seas in a process known as convection current. In exchange for absorbing the heat from the land, the river or sea supplies the land with cool sea breeze. This exchange will help maintain temperature at a close range.
In order for the Earth to get larger, more mass would have to be added. Since no new mass is added in the process, It's size doesn't increase.
