Answer;

-High specific heat

Explanation;

Water's high heat capacity is a property caused by hydrogen bonding among water molecules. Water has a large heat capacity which helps limit changes in body temperature in a warm or a cold environment.

Water enables the body to release heat when ambient temperature is higher than body temperature An individual begins to sweat, and the evaporation of water from the skin surface cools the body very efficiently. As a result, water plays a very important role in temperature regulation.
