Answer 1

The answer is C. It resists fast temperature change

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is option C, it resists fast temperature changes in the cars engine

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity of water is extremely high thus a large amount of heat is required to raise the temperature of water by one degree celcius. When the car radiator gets extremely heated , water absorbs this heat without itself getting heated. Also being easily available , it is the cheapest and most preferred coolant .
