its high specific heat capacity
its high specific heat capacity

its high surface tension

Answer 1

The correct response is: its hydrogen bonds.

Water has a high boiling point primarily due to the strong hydrogen bonds that exist between its molecules. These bonds require significant energy to break, resulting in water boiling at a higher temperature compared to other substances of similar molecular weight.
