C: Water has high heat capacity
Water has a high heat capacity, which means it requires a significant amount of energy to raise its temperature. Therefore, it will take longer to reach its boiling point compared to substances with lower heat capacities.

A: Water takes little energy to heat
B: Water has low thermal conductivity
C: Water has high heat capacity
